The official KZbin channel of Grammy Award-winning artist Rob Thomas.

Rob Thomas is one of modern music’s most compelling and commercially successful artists. For twenty years, he has been the frontman and primary composer for alternative rock band Matchbox Twenty, leading the quintet to multiplatinum success over the course of four albums and hits that include “Push,” “3AM,” “Bent,” “If You’re Gone,” and “Unwell.”

Thomas’ first solo albums, 2005’s platinum-certified #1 album ‘Something To Be’ and 2009’s ‘cradlesong’ generated the hit singles “Lonely No More,” “This is How A Heart Breaks,” “Her Diamonds” and “Someday. ’Something to Be’ became the first album by a male artist from a rock/pop group to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 since the chart had debuted. With ‘cradlesong’, he made history once again as the only male artist with multiple #1 hits at Adult Top 40, with most #1s by a solo male artist in the chart’s history. Thomas released his 3rd solo album ‘The Great Unknown' in 2015.

Rob Thomas is so humble. He’s credited as a featured artist on an adapted version of his own song, lets Steve Aoki and Kiiara shine and do their thing center stage, and gives his all on the supporting harmonies. He’s amazing. What a role model.

I remember when Unwell was released and when I grew older it became my favorite. I have depression and anxiety, so it hits hard and made realize that there's people like me out there. Even with my autism, I see that there's better days and with this song I know I'll be alright. Thank you Rob Thomas, Kiiara, and Steve Aoki for this song, love it and it makes me smile on my darkest days.
