"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
