“Matt is a truly dynamic talent and we’re excited to grow our relationship with him as he enters the next phase of his career,” says Jeremy Tucker, Chairman, Endurance Music Group. “Our mission has always been to support our artists and writers and create great music. Working alongside Matt, Brendan, and the team at Rich MGMT is a privilege and we look forward to building something exceptional together.”
“Getting to work with Endurance Music Group in this new capacity is a dream come true,” says Stell. “They believe in what I’m making as much as I do. We’ve already done amazing things together, and this is truly the next step in our journey. I couldn’t be more excited about it and what’s to come.”
With 600+ million streams and back-to-back No. 1 singles “Prayed for You” and “Everywhere But On,” Arkansas-born Stell merges candid storytelling with arena-sized hooks. His 2024 debut album Born Lonely opened at No. 2 on Apple Music Country, and his single “Breakin’ in Boots” reached country radio’s Top 15 in 2025.
