Recently, AllAboutJazz and writer Jakob Baekgaard recently called Matthew a modern “renaissance man” (the article has more than 15,000 views/reads). He is a forward moving, fast acting, and busy artist. Between his acoustic/electric bass performing, commissioned compositions (including his work on Australian singer/songwriter Via Tania’s latest album, featuring his Tomorrow Music Orchestra, his film scoring contributions to Argentine director Alejo Domínguez’s feature film, La Soñada, or creating improvisation teaching supplements for the Institute for Creative Music), directing, filming and editing music videos and/or release trailers (ie. Nate Lepine, TMO, Quintopus, Matija Dedic, blink.), creating layout design work and/or photography for websites and albums (e&e.com, Matija Dedic, Hood Smoke, Pedway, Quintopus), conducting, directing and composing for at-risk youth orchestra, Orquesta Creer Es Crear in Argentina where they performed in the tango-famed Teatro Roma, founding/directing Chicago-based indie label, ears&eyes Records (2017 marks ten years), and now releasing his newest double EP cassette, Cuentos Vol. 1 & 2, just maybe he can back AllAboutJazz’s forceful claim.

Matthew's undergraduate studies at the University of North Carolina at Asheville led to a B.A. in Jazz Studies/Bass Performance with an emphasis on 20th Century Classical music & theory, while earning the Distinction in Music Award, and masters studies to a M.M. in (classical) Composition from the University of New Orleans after a brief stint at Northwestern University after Hurricane Katrina swept through New Orleans in August 2005.

Matthew’s discography includes over 50 recordings featuring his performance, compositions, conducting, film scoring, artwork/design, photography, and/or production.
