[MUSICIAN. ARTIST. ETC. INTRODUCING MATTHEW SWAIN] ///
Matthew's music is the sound of modern, melodic pop with a post-modern retro feel. Lyrically and musically daring, Matthew is at the cutting edge, fusing pop, rock, electronica, punk and new wave in a unique hybrid, taking the listener to alternative worlds of beauty and chaos, evoking controlled hysteria.
[21st CENTURY BOY] ///
Matthew has already worked with numerous musicians including Bob Lamb (Duran Duran/Stephen Duffy/UB40), DJ Joey Negro (Sugababes/Robbie Williams/Mariah Carey) and Matt Ingram (Paloma Faith/Three Trapped Tigers).
Celebrity fans include Reverend & the Makers, John Taylor (Duran Duran), Warren Cuccurullo (Frank Zappa/Missing Persons/Duran Duran), Paul Heaton (Beautiful South), Thom Monahan (Pop Levi/Devendra Banhart) and legendary DJ Paul Gambaccini amongst others.
"My overriding ambition is to make music that is universal and timeless. I want to make each song an event that people can remember - and I want my music to be everywhere!"
[HERE IS THE FUTURE] ///
Matthew is currently working on new music and putting a new band together to play live 'multimedia' shows. He is also working on a project writing songs for other artists, which he will be recording in London and Los Angeles.
Coming soon! The talk of indie circles for months now, Matthew will soon be dropping his debut album.
Matthew is currently a featured artist on MusicLoad@MusicLoad.com, Hollywood, CA.
