William Matthews is my pick for favorite new sound of 2011. He is breaking out of the traditional music and worship scene we are used too and every song he covers is like nifty interior decorating making something completely new out of the old. His own songs and sounds are very alive and unlike much of what is out there, he feels fully present whenever he is performing. His voice and music direction choices are going to give him longevity for a great future and I am looking forward to see his presence grow on the music scene.

"William Matthews is an authentic voice among the greatness and excellence of the Bethel worship scene. I love the way William carries joy and hope in his worship countenance and brings a lively, joyful musical presentation. His songwriting is steeped in transformational truths and a clear understanding of the power of great melodies. It has always been my great pleasure to do conferences and schools with William Matthews and I highly recommend his ministry!"
