Matthew Mayfield is an American singer and songwriter from Birmingham, Alabama. Originally the lead singer in the group Moses Mayfield, which disbanded in 2008, Mayfield has moved on to a solo career. He announced the release of his debut EP, titled The Fire EP on August 25, 2008.[1]

Not long after the band broke up, lead singer Matthew Mayfield started playing shows centered on the Birmingham, Alabama area, usually solo acoustic but occasionally with a new backing band. Within a year, he independently released an album of acoustic songs, including acoustic versions of songs that previously appeared on The Inside. He also revealed that Moses Mayfield broke up mainly due to disagreements with the record label.
