Hi, I'm Matthew, a creative and dedicated musician and music producer with a BA (Hons) in Commercial Music from Bath Spa University. I have a passion for drums, music production, and songwriting, with hands-on experience in live performance, studio recording, and audio mastering. I love collaborating with other artists and helping musicians develop their unique sound. I developed a love for writing ambient music the moment I began songwriting, finding I was able to channel inner thoughts and emotions into an introspective journey portrayed through sound.
