Hi! I'm Matt Estep and I study Sound Recording Technology at Fredonia. I started making and posting music on my personal Facebook profile under this name way back in 2011. I started with mashups of some of my favorite songs but as I became more and more involved with the music, I wound up forming my own ideas and making songs of my own. When I write and produce music for Sidestep I use skills that I've learned at my school as well as on my own and I always try to keep things fresh and interesting. I have a variety of musical influences ranging from The Beatles to Muse and to M83.

I write mostly instrument based electronic music but I'm definitely not afraid to stray away from my comfort zone in terms of genres. I love listening to and writing music that can bring me back to any point in my life - no matter how distant - and make me feel again as I once did. I strive to include that in my music and because much of my music is ambiguous my hope is that you develop your own ideas about what each song is about because once you press play, the song is yours. There is no right or wrong answer, there is only you and the music.
