Born in the highlands of Scotland, Matt began playing saxophone aged 11 at school thanks to his local music service and was later introduced to jazz by saxophonist and mentor Allon Beauvoisin. Early performance opportunities came through the East Dunbartonshire School’s Jazz Orchestra, NYJOS and the Tommy Smith Youth Jazz Orchestra before enrolling at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow where he is still a student. Matt will release his debut album ‘Where Will The River Flow’ in early 2021, featuring Fergus McCreadie (piano), Ali Watson (bass) and Tom Potter (drums) who have been performing across the UK and beyond over the past few years. Matt’s music reflects his love of both Jazz and Folk, with the Scotsman newspaper claiming he ‘has developed an exciting Scottish style of his own.’

Some other fantastic artists Matt has recently collaborated with include Mark Hendry, Luca Manning, corto.alto, The Joshua Elcock Big Band, Alan Benzie, JM Jazz World Orchestra, Seonaid Aitken, Jonny Mansfield, Peter Wilson, Charlie Stewart, Fat-Suit and Mezcla.
