Name: Matt Hay
Age: 27
Title: Actor (Signature Models and Talent)
Married/Single: Married
Kids: Two
Live: Gilbert
I’m a singer, songwriter, and actor whose music is best known for powerful melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, and whose acting performance is trademarked by comedic improvisation. Matt also enjoys obsessing over finding the next great television show to binge watch, making goofy Vine videos, wrestling with his two sons, and leading worship at the church he attends in Phoenix, Ariz. Whether Matt’s giving you an unusually awkward long hug or making some obscure movie reference, he will most likely put a smile on your face.

In Chandler Ariz.
My favorite thing about Arizona…

My family…or Aaron Paul.
