Gotee Records Signs Sanctus Real's Founding Member Matt Hammitt

Gotee Records announced an Exclusive Recording Agreement and Exclusive Publishing Agreement with Matt Hammitt. Hammitt was a found member of the band Sanctus Real.  He will serve as a staff writer as well as a new artist on the Gotee roster.  

Hammitt writes, "'I'm thrilled to be joining Emack Music and Gotee Records in this next chapter of songwriting and artistry! I'm grateful to the whole team for inviting me into the fam with open arms. It's an honor.I have so much to say, but I'll save it for a song." 

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 written over fifteen 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 hurt within families of faith, through a lens of hope and healing. As a companion to the song, Matt has written a seven-day devotional called Life After Church Hurt.

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.
