Matt started playing electric bass at the age of 15. After a few years of playing in punk bands, he was handed two albums and these two albums changed the direction of his life. The two albums were Jaco Pastorius' first solo album and Oscar Peterson Trio's We Get Requests. From there he took to obsessively studying music and enrolling in University Massachusetts music program. In his sophomore year he picked up the upright bass.
