Krissy Matthews

Few blues rock performers have a career that began as early as Krissy Matthews's did. Born on 25 May 1992, the singer-songwriter and guitarist straddles two nations, being both British and Norwegian, and that dual heritage sits comfortably beside a music built on the guitar-led conventions of blues rock. Writing and playing his own material, he places the instrument and the song at the centre of everything he makes, which is what gives his work its immediacy and claim on a listener's attention.

Momentum came early. By the age of 18 he had already released three albums, a head start that marks him out as a prolific figure from the outset. The body of work has since grown to eleven albums, the most recent of which, Rock and Roll Soldier, arrived in April 2026 through Ruf Records. It is a fresh chapter in a catalogue that began in his teens, and the new record stands as the latest evidence of a steady, long-running output.
