Over the years Matthew has developed himself to execute his own rhythmical voice in a stealthy, but powerful expression, and his technical skill is characterized by a fluid like style.
His development underlines his teaching method; whereby he encourages students own formation of style and character in their musical expression, to deliver a distinct feel to any piece of music they apply themselves to.
Off the kit, Matthew is also majoring in English and philosophy with a deep focus on existentialism, metaphysics, ethics, and other subjects on the human condition in life. His wide openness to experience is a measure of his interest and practice in art, poetry, literature, music and philosophy, which enters in his teaching habits to inspire his students.
