He has a growing number of independent releases: a self-titled five-song EP in 2003, a six song EP titled The Elasmosaurus EP in 2005, a full-length CD entitled Songs We Sing in 2006, a digipak full length album Unfamilar Faces in 2007, and the albums Mobile Chateau (in 2010) and Matt Costa (in 2013).
In early 2003, Costa's homemade demo reached No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont, who offered to record more demos for Costa in his home studio. Those first recordings led to two EPs that Costa and Dumont distributed themselves. These were later combined and mixed by Phil Ek in order to form Costa's first full-length CD entitled Songs We Sing.
Costa spent the summer of 2005 opening on Jack Johnson's summer tour. He has since toured with Modest Mouse, Oasis, Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, G. Love & Special Sauce, and Death Cab for Cutie. Costa joined Jack Johnson for his 2006 European tour. He has also contributed to the Jack Johnson and Friends Curious George soundtrack; his track is entitled "Lullaby". This song was taken from his The Elasmosaurus EP. Costa has also toured extensively in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Asia and South America.
The video for Costa's first single "Cold December" was released February 2, 2006. On July 31, 2007, he released a song titled "If You Took To Me" as part of the environmentally minded polar bear documentary Arctic Tale and its soundtrack.
On October 7, 2007, Costa released the first single, "Mr. Pitiful," from his record Unfamiliar Faces. The song "Mr. Pitiful" was used during a scene with Paul Rudd in the movie I Love You, Man, the redband trailer for the film Youth in Revolt starring Michael Cera, and the movie Marmaduke. The song is featured during the opening credits of The Answer Man (film). Apple also used an instrumental cut of this song for the worldwide iPhone 3GS ads.
Mobile Chateau, Costa's next album, was released on September 21, 2010, via Brushfire Records. His 2013 self-titled album was recorded at Pheasant Studios in Santa Ana, CA, as Costa's first solo production.

Make That Change
Matt Costa Lyrics
There's nothing like staring at the ceiling
There's nothing like thinking what
Could have been
There's nothing like worry
To take your mind off
Everything
There's nothing like feeling so helpless
It's looking like a cigarette sunrise
There's nothing like yesterday
To take you away from
Your tomorrow
You gotta make that change
I know that it's gonna get rough
You gotta go with the flow sometimes
It doesn't mean that you give up
Because the start is the finish line
Even if you take two steps back
You gotta make that change
To see a brighter day
Soon
There's nothing like lying to yourself
There's nothing like hiding from yourself
There's nothing like vices freedom lies
In color blindness
You gotta make that change
I know that it's gonna get rough
You gotta go with the flow sometimes
It doesn't mean that you give up
Because the start is the finish line
Even if you take two steps back
You gotta make that change
To see a brighter day
Soon
You gotta make that change
I know that it's gonna get rough
Go with the flow sometimes
It doesn't mean that you give up
Because the start is the finish line
Even if you take two steps back
You're gonna make that change
To see a brighter day
Soon
There's nothing like thinking what
Could have been
There's nothing like worry
To take your mind off
Everything
There's nothing like feeling so helpless
It's looking like a cigarette sunrise
There's nothing like yesterday
Your tomorrow
You gotta make that change
I know that it's gonna get rough
You gotta go with the flow sometimes
It doesn't mean that you give up
Because the start is the finish line
Even if you take two steps back
You gotta make that change
To see a brighter day
Soon
There's nothing like lying to yourself
There's nothing like hiding from yourself
There's nothing like vices freedom lies
In color blindness
You gotta make that change
I know that it's gonna get rough
You gotta go with the flow sometimes
It doesn't mean that you give up
Because the start is the finish line
Even if you take two steps back
You gotta make that change
To see a brighter day
Soon
You gotta make that change
I know that it's gonna get rough
Go with the flow sometimes
It doesn't mean that you give up
Because the start is the finish line
Even if you take two steps back
You're gonna make that change
To see a brighter day
Soon

To take you away from your tomorrow

There's nothing like vices
Freedom lies in color blindness
You gotta make that change
I know that it's gonna get rough
You gotta go with the flow sometimes
But it doesn't mean that you give up
Because the start is the finish line
Even if you take two steps backs
You're gonna make that change
To see a brighter day
Soon
You gotta make that change
I know that it's gonna get rough
Go with the flow sometimes
It doesn't mean that you give up
Because the start is the finish line
Even if you take two steps back
You're gonna make that change
To see a brighter day
