For every rags-to-riches, overnight success story boasted by the music industry, there are countless other amazing artists flying just under the radar, anxiously waiting a turn in the spotlight. But could it be a blessing, perhaps, if that “big break” is not just around the corner? There’s a lot to be said for the subtle rises—artists on a gradual trajectory with more nuanced career paths. Though not always as celebrated, the long road can ultimately be more creatively rich and fulfilling. Just ask award-winning Canadian singer/songwriter Matt Brouwer. Amidst mission travels and music making, a grounding factor in Matt’s life is his church community. He is a part-time worship leader and artist-in-residence at The Woodlands United Methodist Church in Houston, and that connection is an especially important one. “It provides the stability and ground support that I so desperately need,” says Matt. “No one can stand by themselves, we all need people who are going to stick with us through thick and thin. I can’t overstate how amazing it is to have found a place like this.” In the years since Matt’s debut, a lot of living, learning and serving has transpired. And while he’s yet to see that meteoric rise to stardom, it just may be overrated. Taking the time to slowly breathe-in each season of life, to reflect upon experiences, and to pour out deeply personal songs that leave a lasting impact are truly the sweetest rewards for any artist.
