Straight out of Sandy Run, South Carolina, Matt B is bringing the soul, the energy, and the boots to the dance floor with his latest single, “Steppin Boots.” A true Southern Soul artist with deep roots in community, family, and feel-good music, Matt is quickly making noise across the region—and now, across social media.
Raised in the tight-knit town of Gaston, Matt B’s connection to music was shaped by the sounds of his upbringing. But it wasn’t just melodies that molded him—it was personal loss and love that gave his music purpose. After stepping away from his career for a time, he found renewed fire in honor of his late grandmother, dropping his debut R&B album “Skin Slapping Music” on her birthday, Christmas Eve 2023. That release re-lit the flame—and he’s been unstoppable since.
Fast forward to 2025, and Matt B is back with something different—“Steppin Boots,” his first official dive into the Southern Soul lane. The track is pure good energy: soulful, catchy, and built to move people. It’s not just a song—it’s a call to dance, a celebration of the everyday, and an instant mood-lifter. The rhythm is smooth, the bounce is undeniable, and the lyrics are as down-home as it gets:
“I’m gon’ put on my steppin’ boots
I’ma put ‘em on wherever I go
I might step at the gas station
I might step at the grocery store
I might step at the liquor store
I might step at my momma house…”
Whether you’re sliding through the house party, stepping at the family reunion, or grooving in the grocery aisle, Matt B’s feel-good anthem gives everyone permission to move—anytime, anywhere.
What makes “Steppin Boots” special isn’t just the beat or the lyrics—it’s the spirit. It taps into the joy of Southern living, the pride of tradition, and the freedom of just letting go and having fun. The song is already inspiring dance videos and challenges across TikTok and Instagram, and it’s quickly becoming a staple at line dance events, barbecues, and juke joints across the South.
And Matt? He’s just getting started.
When he’s not in the booth crafting bangers, Matt B is spending time with his wife and kids, living a grounded life full of fishing, hunting, and workouts. That authenticity bleeds into his music—he’s not trying to be anyone else, and that realness is exactly what resonates with fans. People see themselves in him. They feel like they know him.
With “Steppin Boots,” Matt B isn’t just dropping a hot track—he’s building a moment. A soundtrack to joy. A reminder that life’s too short not to dance.
