    So many amazing things happening at the moment. It is very exciting. See you at Floriade Nightfest at the Lotus Lounge. http://www.floriadeaustralia.com/nightfest/nightfest-program/music. The 2 Matts (Matt James and myself) have returned from another adventure-filled Canadian tour. Hello to all the people we met along the way. Look out for my new Favourite Son album, out in October with several dates up the Australian east coast. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AKA Favourite Son, uno.matteo, the Artist formerly known as Matty Oka. :) At the urging of my parents, I studied piano from age 7. Back then, they had no idea it would impact my life so strongly. I never became a piano virtuoso, but developed a strong desire to be a performer and musician. In 1985, seeing Live Aid cemented those desires for me, seeing bands like U2, INXS and Simple Minds performing for huge audiences on TV. Live Aid wasn’t just a rock concert - it was for a very important cause - and this experience helped shape my appreciation of music’s power to change people. Piano was not so cool in High School. That’s when I took up drums, discovering my natural rhythmic talents. From then, music was all I could think of. It became the only subject at school that I took an interest in. Several bands and albums followed through many styles - metal (Kohllapse), dark electronica (cradle->grave) and world music; and after a soul-searching trip around the United States, I returned home to help form a world music group called ‘Rivertribe’. With Rivertribe, I recorded 3 albums and enjoyed several successful overseas trips. I was a founding member of the hugely successful group OKA (www.okamusic.com). Having recorded and performed all over the world with the OKA boys, and selling tens of thousands of albums, it has become time to carve a musical path of my own. .. .... ........ ..Free Myspace Layouts.. by TheMyspaceLayout.com... ..Glitter Text Generator.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ......
