Missio

Missio was formed in 2016 by songwriter/vocalist Matthew Brue. After the completion of his demos, Brue hired friend and local producer/engineer David Butler to collaborate on their self-titled EP, which would later be released in November 2016. After unexpected online success, Brue made his debut appearance under the name MISSIO at the SXSW festival in 2016 with help from friend/producer David Butler. Matthew invited David to officially join in July 2016. During an interview, Brue explained that the name MISSIO comes from the Latin word for "mission." This phrase is significant to him because it is reminiscent of the time period in his life when he was recovering from an addiction, and as a result, had the word tattooed on his arm.
