The Tallest Man On Earth is the stage name of the Swedish singer-songwriter and guitarist Kristian Matsson, whose music captivates listeners with its heartfelt lyricism and distinctive fingerpicking guitar style. Born on April 30, 1983, Matsson's sound is often compared to that of folk legends such as Bob Dylan, yet he brings a unique and modern twist to the genre. Since emerging on the scene with his debut album "Shallow Grave" in 2008, The Tallest Man On Earth has garnered a dedicated following for his poetic songwriting and raw, earnest vocal delivery.

Over the years, Matsson has continued to evolve as an artist, exploring different arrangements and instrumentation without losing the intimate quality that defines his work. The Tallest Man On Earth's discography includes several critically acclaimed albums, such as "The Wild Hunt" (2010) and "There's No Leaving Now" (2012), along with numerous EPs and singles. His most recent releases, such as "I Love You. It's a Fever Dream." (2019) and the reflective "Spotify Singles" (2020), showcase his growth and reflective nature, often delving into themes of love, life's complexities and self-discovery. Despite the solitary image his stage name might evoke, Matsson's music resonates with a sense of universal emotion and a connection that reaches across his global audience.
