Graven - Canadian Singer-Songwriter

A Chat with Heart - with Christina Martin

Christina chats with GRAVEN (Matty McKechnie), an independent folk-rock singer- songwriter from Ottawa, Canada about his latest album Simple Complex, killing people with kindness, and singing and songwriting. As it turns out, Christina and Matty discover they might be the same person.

Graven is a passionate wordsmith of song who wears his heart on the sleeve of his melodies. He always has uplifting words and self-love promoting songs of support for anyone at his shows and his dedicated fan-base (who have dubbed themselves as “Graventown”). Graven always tries to create a highly accepting and inclusive community and his music has become a safe-haven for anyone and everyone who wants to be their real-self without judgement.
