Matt has been writing his own music during 2004, when his band Crystal Clear went on a break during the summer. Since then, his solo music has become his outlet.
In the early days, Matt took inspiration from the current Indie/Acoustic scene, using simple folk influences, and singing with a strong English accent.
However after a few years he became increasingly let down by the local music scene and became numbed to the countless screamo/death metal bands out there, singing about nothing but anger and hate. Because of this, he found refuge in the 1960s music scene, bands like Lovin' Spoonful, The Beatles, The Mamas and Papas and Bob Dylan. This is where his biggest influence came from, and with the influences of experimental chill-out musician John Frusciante, Matt created his own style.
Matt has never been recorded at a professional studio, or been approached by a record label. What you see here is one musician who makes music because he loves it, and for no other reason.

New Tracks Are On Their Way
Well it's 6.07 according to my laptop, I'm sat up after a night out, coming less and less drunk, listening to John Frusciante and the sounds of the birds outside.
But anyway, just to let you all know, the recording is going brilliantly this week, I'll be improving vocal lines and recording more music, which should hopefully be up very soon.
Keep checking!

Delay on News Tracks, Old Tracks Coming!
Just to say once again, thank you for all the kind words from everybody on my surveys. Any feedback is appreciated.
I'd also like to take this moment to mention that if any bands/artists need a support slot filling, I have a flexible set list and know I variety a cover tracks.
Apologies for the delay in new tracks, I'm currently bogged down with assignments and have little spare time to record. Easter will be a productive time for me, I have 8 gigs planned with various bands and by myself in the Midlands, and I am planning to put aside a weekend for recording new material.
Until then, I'll be sticking up some old tracks I recorded a few years back. They're a bit typical indie/acoustic, but they hold some precious memories.

A Quick Thank You
Thanks to everyone who's given me feedback on the track so far, and took part in my survey.
I appreciate any feedback I get, whether it's positive or negative.
Just to let you know as well, the tracks currently up are demo versions of the final tracks to be released (plus a few old tracks).
The final tracks should be ready and mastered by early summer time, just about ready for when I start my live shows again. I'll make another survey round about that time with all the tracks up for you to rate.
But thanks alot for your time so far, don't abandon me just yet :-p

Matt Arrives At GigaHitz!
With some initial teething problems, I've finally managed to create a page!
So the plan is to upload a new track everyday until I run out of tracks to upload. After that, I'll add new tracks as their recorded.
All your support would be greatly appreciated in the next few months whilst I bring this page to life.
Thanks very much
Matt x
