That album, and two subsequent single releases, helped him win two International Music and Entertainment Association Awards. He landed on the iTunes Top 40 Country Songs chart, racking up worldwide radio airplay, as well. Aside from music, his acting skills helped him land the role of Johnny Cash in the upcoming Donna D’Errico film, 116 MacDougal.
On Thursday, February 27th, Matt Westin will be recognized for his achievements by his high school Alma Mater, West Mifflin Area School District.
