drums

Matt's passion for music was sparked at a very young age when a family friend gifted him his first drum set. From the moment he picked up the sticks, it was clear that rhythm came naturally to him. Growing up, Matt was heavily influenced by his father, a performing musician whose band regularly played in local bars. Watching his dad interact with his bandmates and entertaining the crowd left a lasting impression.

Throughout middle school and high school, Matt continued his musical journey by playing in marching, jazz, and concert bands, and eventually starting playing full gigs with his fathers band. These different experiences allowed Matt to appreciate and understand a wide range of genres. Today, Matt plays with a variety of bands, including his own band “Right On”, embracing everything from rock and funk to pop.

In addition to performing, Matt is pursuing a degree in music business at Rowan University. At Rowan Matt is getting his CUG in jazz drum set and playing in the Rowan University jazz and pep bands.
