   About MATT NORTH
"You can tell from Matt North's drumming that he sees the big picture. His swinging shuffle is propulsive and safely tucked out of the vocalist's way." -- Modern Drummer

"North's drumming is solid and lively. His cymbal work and use of brushes are especially noteworthy." -- Nashville's Drummercafe.com

A native of Champaign, Illinois, alum of North Texas, now based in Los Angeles. Matt recently produced Hail The Size's debut LP "I Can't Die In LA" featuring piano/vocal performances by former Lone Justice lead singer, Maria McKee.

Recorded and performed with Jesse DeNatale, Viktor Krauss, Eric Lilavois, Nicholas Tremulis, Blondie Chaplin, Matt Fish (Alejandro Escavedo), Andy Prieboy, Kristian Hoffman, J'anna Jacoby (Rod Stewart), Gina Villalobos, Abby Travis, cult-icon Mink Stole of John Waters fame, and pop prodigy Todd Fletcher of Twiggy and June and The Exit Wounds (Parasol Records).

He is also a contributing writer for Modern Drummer Magazine and teaches privately in the LA area.
