Matt's talent and dedication shone through as he ventured into different music genres and projects. From the grunge act HIGH LEAF, which received regular airplay on WMMR and earned their title of Local Artist of the Month, to the punk indie favorite Good Look, Sigourney, where he and the band collected numerous indie music awards and acclaim for their performances.
More recently, Matt's journey continued with performances alongside the cover band Garden State Radio and recording with the metalcore outfit Huxley. He has collaborated with industry professionals such as Kane Churko, Ricky Armellino, and Chris Kelly and achieved milestones like opening for renowned bands Disturbed, Royal Blood, Living Colour, and The Pretty Reckless.
