Friday the 13th may be considered as an unfortunate day but not for Matt Westin. This rising country singer just released the official lyric video of his song called “Hey Bro” last week. It has a strong bro-country sound to it much like the music of Luke Bryan, Jake Owen, Jason Aldean, and other country stars today.

Matt Westin as an Artist

Matt Westin’s artistry really shines through in the music video. He is sticking to the kind of music that he promised his fans. It is also the kind of song that will pump you up and make you feel good about yourself. A little background about Matt Westin, he used to be an engineer who decided to change his career path and become a country singer.

The song was released under MTS records. Michael Stover, an MTS personnel said this about the video:

“It’s definitely Matt’s most visually engaging video to date. In fact, Matt single-handedly and painstakingly selected each frame of footage found in the video. We’re all very excited about it.”
