Episode Description from the Publisher

Ahead of his debut album, Orchid, Matt Hansen joins More or Less with Jess for a vulnerable conversation. After a viral TikTok cover of “Godspeed” changed his life overnight,  ⁨@matthansen⁩  has gone on to sell out tours across three continents, reach over 6M monthly Spotify listeners, and build his career fully on his own terms as an independent artist. In this episode, Matt opens up about sustaining success in today's music industry while navigating being both CEO and artist. We dive into the catharsis of songwriting and how learning to let go has shaped his sense of self. This conversation is a reminder of how embracing discomfort can lead to the most growth. 🔗 More or Less Links:Follow us on social media by clicking ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rate & subscribe to our show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🔗 Matt Hansen Links:Stay connected with Matt here.Credits:🎙 Hosted by Jessica McDevitt🎛 Produced by Remy Hernandez
