If anyone deserves to break the shackles and enjoy the moment, it’s multi-platinum-selling musician
Matt Corby. For a decade, Corby has been pushing his own boundaries, embracing a journey of self-
discovery that’s seen him wrestle a few pre-conceptions and stare down his share of demons. Now,
with two ARIA Song of the Year awards on the shelf, and a #1 debut album, Telluric, behind him, Corby
can genuinely lay claim to some hard-earned perspective. “I think, in a really good way, I have stopped
caring quite so much,” he says. “I don’t mean about the quality of what I am creating, but about that
seriousness, about having to prove I can write a song in a clever way or perform a song in a way that
makes people feel good. I can trust my instinct a little now and go with it.”
