After a decade of playing gigs both large and small around the city of Chicago with indie rockers, Buckman Page, as well as with front porch folkers, Distant Brothers, Matty and his partner packed up their lives and moved to northeast Minneapolis in 2021. His current musical project, "Matty & The Subtle Validation" stems from something of a quest to find ways to connect with and to validate others through music. He's not an expert and it may not even be something he's very good at, but the bottom line is this: no matter who you are or where you're from, everyone deserves to be valued.

Previously playing at several clubs in Oslo and major sites like Sentrum Scene, Rockefeller, Betong, Cat Club, Klubb9, Score and more. 
Released Mix compilation SMART Dance 3 back in 1997 on SMART Records / MEGA Records.

I'd just like to shoutout to my arms for always being by my side.
