Today (June 14), five-time Grammy nominated artist Matthew West shares a new live video for “Wonderful Life.” The video, shot in downtown Franklin, TN, can be viewed below. The song was inspired by an experience with a fan named Ron Janca, who was battling ALS and gave West a new perspective on life.
Earlier this year, West announced his sixth book, “The God Who Stays,” set for release on September 6. It includes a more in depth perspective of the impact Janca made on West in hopes to inspire others. For more information visit thegodwhostays.com.
Dubbed by Billboard as a “well-rounded songwriter,” he’s notched 12 number ones as a songwriter and had 12 number 1 singles as an artist, including his most recent multi-week No. 1 song “What If.” It followed back-to-back No. 1 hits with “The God Who Stays” and “Truth Be Told,” which he later recorded a duet rendition with country superstar Carly Pearce (here). The genre hitmaker is the reigning ASCAP Christian Songwriter of the Year, his fourth time with this honor in his career.
