Matt Wertz forced himself out of his adopted hometown of Nashville, TN and took to Los Angeles. Thousands of miles from home and fueled by infectious, 90's-inspired beats, Gun Shy came to life. Matt teamed up with A-list pop writers from the West Coast for this album, including LA's Ian Keaggy (Hot Chelle Rae, Cody Simpson), Ben Romans (Carly Rae Jepson) and Seth Jones (Greg Holden, Tyler Bryant). The single "Unexpected Love" was premiered on PureVolume on April 27, 2016.
