The drummer and multi-instrumentalist Matthias Herrnegger was born in 1991 in Vienna. Surrounded by music from an early age, he gained extensive experience as a drummer in a wide range of bands, spanning genres from pop, rock, and heavy metal to country and classical music. His dynamic performance career has taken him to the Nova Rock Festival on seven occasions and has seen him tour across Europe and the USA. After completing his music studies at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (MDW), he began teaching music, history, and drums at *Gymnasium am Augarten* in 2018, where he also took on the responsibility of directing the school band.

Beyond his work as a drummer, Matthias is passionate about exploring other creative outlets, such as playing acoustic guitar and singing. His versatility has allowed him to musically accompany numerous weddings, adding a personal touch to each celebration. In recent years, his focus has shifted towards orchestral compositions, a direction that is evident in his work for *Beat The Silence* and in the creation of a children's musical, which was premiered in 2023 and has been performed several times since. 

In his free time, the young father finds joy in outdoor activities, often spending time in nature through traveling, sailing, or paragliding- endeavors that reflect his adventurous spirit and love for exploration.
