Cortney Matz

Cortney Matz creates environments for connection - connection with one another and with oneself. She is a piano-playing singer/songwriter in Los Angeles.

After 14 years in the film business, Cortney fully embraced music in 2015. A crisis of the heart compelled her to the piano, writing and singing at every opportunity, then sharing those songs with others. Which led to booking her first gig at a local artist-friendly coffee shop. Which led to connecting with other songwriters and starting a monthly showcase and open mic.

Which has led to three albums and a tour. Cortney is currently active in the LA music community, hosting gatherings for artists and performing in restaurants, backyards, and galleries. After a lifetime of writing, singing and playing music "on the side," Cortney is having a blast making music her primary endeavor.
