Matt started his musical career aged 14 playing the club circuit in his parents' band. During the end of his school years he played bass, guitar and keyboards with numerous acts including the Blues Collective and the rock opera The Who's Tommy. At the age of 18 he settled on the bass guitar and went on to study music at the Guitar Institute, London. It was here his career started to take off - playuing sessions with players like Ian Thomas and Mike Hatchett for BBC Radio One, touring the south coast of France with his band Rogue Soul and achieving Bass Player of the Year at the Guitar Institute. Before joining the European tour of BB, Matt had just passed his degree. Spectacular!
