“Matthew hails from the sunny port of San Pedro, and grew up watching some of the biggest bands in the world perform at the renowned venues all across Los Angeles.
Following in the footsteps of giants he has spent the last fifteen years performing on those very same stages, as well as recording at the same iconic studios as bands like Guns N’ Roses, Black Sabbath, No Doubt and Audioslave.
He is a captivating, visceral performer on stage: a tasteful, nuanced musician (frequently doubling as producer/engineer) in the studio. A steel fist, in a velvet glove.”
