“Don’t Worry, Be Happy” was the first musical number uttered from then two year old Matt Annecharico’s mouth. The rest, as they say, is history. Matt grew up in Phoenix, Arizona where he began his work in acting. “Theater has always been such a big part of me. I would love to get back into it one of these days!”. Matt took on such roles as Oz in “The Wizard of Oz”, Joseph in “The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” and Romeo in “Romeo and Juliet”. Matt then branched out into television where he can be seen on shows such as The History Channel’s “Wild West Tech”. He has also left his mark in film doing work on local independent films such as “The Whistler” and “Unraveled”. After theater, film and television, Matt made his way to radio where he has done commercial spots for organizations such as United Way. But through it all, music remained his secret passion.
“I actually started out as a roadie for a local musician. That was really my first taste of the whole music industry.”. This sparked an interest in Matt to develop his vocal technique, which he did behind closed doors and without any formal training. Soon thereafter, he put his voice to use in the place he called his second home; Christ The King Lutheran Church. As Matt’s voice grew stronger, people began to take notice and his church gave him the opportunity of developing their first contemporary worship service. “I had gained so much knowledge traveling around the state with other local musicians, whether we were playing at a church or a hotel, and it was just going to waste. It was nice to be able to finally use that and show people what I had learned over the years.” Through contacts and being at the right place in the right time, Matt was able to put together a band which they called Difference. Difference not only lead worship on Sundays at Matt’s home church but they also put out a self titled album which gave him his first taste of writing and recording music. “One of the first songs I ever wrote that was really worth anything was called ‘Never Believed In Angels (‘Till God Sent Me You)’ and was actually written about my best friend. It was so much fun watching it develop.” The song also gained him air play on the national Christian radio station, K-Love.
“There is a downside to this business and it is simply that I get to do what I love, singing, only about one percent of the time. The other ninety-nine percent is spent on the business aspect. But that’s okay because it’s all a part of it. I’m just lucky to be able to have the chance to share my love for music with the world and basically be apart of people’s lives. I am so blessed, each and everyday and God willing, I hope to continue making good music.” Matt's new album "Mirrors" is currently on sale.
Hey there sweetie, I just had to let you know that a girl from work listened to your CD (of course I had to bring it for everyone to listen) and she loved it and is going to buy one. She thinks, and of course I do too, you are great and proud of all the hard work you have done with this CD. It's terrific...keep singing...
I just realized that I never wrote back to you. Super lame on my part. My bad. :)
No summer courses for me, so I've been nannying instead. it's been an... interesting job... :) The little girl i'm nannying has two mothers, one of which is my film professor... so it's been a little strange.
But, on the bright side, I got to be a nanny in NYC... so that part was awesome!
