Songwriters are known to be an introspective breed whose personal experiences shape their music, and over the years Matthew West has definitely plumbed the depths of his soul for sweet inspiration.

Yet on his new album, West looked to his audience to provide grist for his creative mill. The result is The Story of Your Life, a spectacular body of work that tackles a diverse array of real life subject matter and finds West exploring tender territory rarely tapped in contemporary pop music.

He is also touring with the largest Christian music tour in the nation - The Winter Jam Tour Spectacular 2013, along with TobyMac, RED, Sidewalk Prophets and more!
