"Good and new original music is hard to find nowadays and Matts is quite remarkable. He is an extra-ordinary young man and very talented. I have no hesitation in saying, that I am a fan of Matts music, and I will be definitely asking him if he has a song in mind for my next album. He is definitely a stayer"

Renee Geyer - Australian Aria R&B/Soul Hall Of Fame Legend

"I can say with no hesitation, that Matt is a very talented singer/songwriter. He is able to connect brilliantly with people, and is loaded with lots of charisma and charm that his audiences loves."

Darren McMahon - Director of Your Dream Seminars/Youth Alive Director

“Matt’s live presence is undeniable. Whether it’s modern acoustic covers or his own original work, he has the ability to capture any audience’s attention with his vibrant sound and a voice to match.”

Nick Walsh, Westfield Marketing Manager

Gian, Newcastle's ABC Artist Of The Year 2005


“Catchy Melodies, with divine hooks. Always delivered in a polished manner.”

Michael Edser, Event Manager for the Delaney Hotel

From the very start, Matt was destined to achieve amazing things. An extremely gifted Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist, Matt was Adopted from South Korea at the age of 4 months, and grew up in Newcastle Australia. At the age of 12, Matt was given his first guitar for Christmas and it quickly became apparent that there was an incredible connection that was formed.

Runner up for Best Young Talent in Newcastle, selling albums internationally in America and shooting a film clip for single “Hypnotised”, which was played on Foxtel Channels around the nation. Matt began performing gigs through high school, and quickly starting building a strong following.

His second album “Remedial View” was nominated for best Pop, Rock, Alternate and Young Artist awards in Newcastle’s ABC Awards 07, the track “The A Song” being used for the 24 Hour Film Festival Television advertising.

Now 21, Matt released his 3rd album "Letting Go" and has signed with Major Label AND Entertainment in Asia. In 2008 alone, Matt performed over 200 shows around Australia and shared the stage with some of the countries best.

Influenced by the likes of acoustic pop artists John Mayer, The Goo Goo Dolls, and Pete Murray, Matts music is both “refreshing, fun, and heart warming” that will leave you counting your blessings more your bruises.

Matt also speaks and performs in schools all around Australia with “Your Dream Seminars”, which encourages students to live their dream for their life. His heart to encourage his generation to not give in has seen thousands of people inspired to change for good.

Matt is the full package: A talented musician, brilliant songwriter and a beautiful human being. Matt is someone you cannot afford to miss!
