Matt Hammitt

Matt Hammitt is a singer-songwriter, author, and speaker. Matt was the lead singer for the band Sanctus Real from 1996-2016. He has been the recipient of three Dove Awards and has been nominated for two Grammy Awards for his work with Sanctus Real. Matt has been awarded for writing over twenty chart topping songs, performed by Sanctus Real and other musical artists.

Matt’s latest single, “Church Hurt,” appeals to the heart of those who have been wounded within church families, through the leans of hope and healing. 

An Ohio native, Matt now lives in Nashville with his wife, Sarah, and their four children. Passion for family is what led him to step away from Sanctus Real in 2016, to spend more time at home. Matt details this difficult transition in his book Lead Me: Finding Courage to Fight for Your Marriage, Children, and Faith. Matt holds nothing back in this unfiltered story of his life, so far.
