I was born and raised in San Diego California. A piano player at age 5, I become an adolecent right in the middle of the synth era...the 80's!! Bought my first roland synth and was able to start writing music right away. I became a fan of all those 80s synth bands...Howard Jones, Depeche Mode, Men Without Hats and...Sting. Throughout the years, Sting became my musical idol and tried to emulate his sound. Not being a lyricist it was fun to study his musical genius in his music writing and not his lyrics. I have learned from Sting and others such as Seal, Billy Joel, Miles Davis and others to come up with my own style...I believe a recognizalbe style that I hope will continue to grow and become a style that is known throughout the industry.

 RadioIndy is pleased to present Matthew with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Color My Soul "
Keyboardist and composer Matthew’s 2nd CD, “Color My Soul,” continues his Easy Listening / Contemporary Jazz explorations over the course of 10 songs as soothing as they are satisfying. On his new album, Matthew offers up a mix of original piano-led instrumental tunes that hover in the New Age / Adult Contemporary realms, but shakes things up a little with a couple nice vocal tracks (“My Child” and “Letting Go”) from a fine r&b-oriented female vocalist, and a sax-led slice of loungiana (“Saxuality”) that brings just the right touch of after-hours ambience. “After the Rain,” with its very pretty acoustic guitar accompaniment, and the title-track, “Color My Soul,” capture the essence of Matthew’s composition and performing strengths, delivering lilting and memorable melodies to complement whatever you’re doing, or simply to help you relax and enjoy a fine glass of wine with a friend or lover. In all, Matthew’s fine “Color My Soul” CD is a beautiful and relaxing musical soundscape for fans of Adult Contemporary and Contemporary Jazz music. -Rice B. and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team |
