   About Matt Stevens

Matt%20%20StevensQuantcast
Matt Stevens is a musician and composer from North London. He uses an acoustic guitar and a sampler to create multi layered tracks live. This is often called Live Looping. His music is compared with artists as diverse as John Mclaughlin and Sigur Ros. He plays live all over the UK. Last year saw the release of the Parks EP Box Set on KEA records that sold out. A debut album Echo is out now.He also produces a regular podcast, a blog, facebook, youtube and a myspace.

Honesty and Integrity is valued over perfection.

Short Biog

Ended up in London to join a band which split up. Left in London and fed up of lugging around amps/drums/singers started playing gigs with an acoustic guitar and a loop pedal.....

HaHaHa! Well, I think that the Muffin Man is the guy sitting at the table of the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen, playing imaginary guitar solos... I'm sure he's FZ himself. I love Bongo Fury & I love real muffins!

Hi there. I really love your music. Also, I would love it if you could vote for my song - Window, Window - for Myspace Records unsigned artist competition. If I win, I get a record deal with Myspace Records along with a $10,000 bonus. I have a widget on my page, so just check it out when you get the chance. Thanks!!
