Matthew Schuler

Matthew Schuler was born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, to pastors Donald and Dawn Schuler. His early life involved singing in his parents’ church, playing in a rock band named Threshold as a high schooler, and participating in various choirs and theatrical productions. He attended Bucks County Community College and later West Chester University, where he further developed his leadership and faith-based skills. In 2013, during his second semester at West Chester, he made the decision to pursue his musical aspirations by auditioning for NBC’s ‘The Voice’.

Schuler’s audition for the fifth season of ‘The Voice’ marked a significant turning point in his career, where he set a record for the fastest four-chair turn in the show’s history. He subsequently joined Team Christina Aguilera and advanced to the Top 6. During his time on the show, his performances included renditions of alternative pop songs by artists such as Young the Giant, Florence and the Machine, and Fall Out Boy. His interpretation of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ achieved notable commercial success, reaching number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and number 38 on the Canadian Hot 100, also hitting number one on the iTunes Charts. These achievements established his national presence in the music industry.

Following his appearance on ‘The Voice’, Matthew Schuler has continued to build his career in music and acting. He has toured internationally, performing in countries including Germany, South Africa, and Jamaica. His acting credits include roles in two feature films, ‘I’m Not Ashamed’ (2016) and ‘Because of Gracia’ (2017). Schuler has released two EPs: ‘Baby Steps’ in 2018 and ‘We Rule the Night’ in 2021. His debut album, ‘We Get There’, dedicated to his late father, was scheduled for release in 2023. He is also one of ‘The Voice’ alumni to debut ‘The Voice: Neon Dreams’, a live concert project, at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
