An originals and covers artist at heart, Matty loves digging through every era of music to find the one common thread that matters most, groove. Whether he’s reimagining classics or performing his own material, his sets are built to lift spirits, move hips and bring people together.

Alongside performing, Matty writes and produces his own music, crafting a modern sound that carries the warmth of Aotearoa wherever he plays.
