Matthew was born in London and migrated to the beautiful island of Trinidad in the Caribbean, together with his family at the tender age of four years old. Matthew started singing and performing in local talent shows, school concerts and many family functions at the age of seven. His talent soon became evident to his family friends and even school teachers and eventually he graduated to performing on National Television on talent shows, award ceremonies, singing competitions and amassed a total of eight Television appearances before the age of eighteen. Matthew also had the honour of singing for the Prime Minister and the Head Of State of Trinidad and Tobago.
At age nineteen Matthew returned to the United Kingdom to pursue a career in music and started performing all over Europe doing soul shows to many enthusiastic audiences. He does several shows which includes a Tribute to Luther Vandross and Stevie Wonder and also a Soul & Motown Show in which he also incorporates a few of his original compositions into the show. These shows can be seen in Theatres, Clubs Restaurants, Hotels, Private Events like Weddings, Birthday Parties, Christenings etc. Matthew has shared the stage with a few of his musical idols, such as Alexander Oneal, Glen Jones, Dionne Warwick, Shalamar and The Drifters to name a few.
After many years of doing cover songs from his musical idols and loving every minute of it, Matthew has now decided to focus more on creating and performing his own original music. He wrote produced and released THE OTHER SIDE a mid tempo Soul jam in 2015 and to his utter surprise it got into the Official UK Soul Charts and worked its way up to #8, it also got to #6 on the Sweet Rhythm Chart on Solar Radio. He then followed this up with the Soul/Pop track THIS THING CALLED LOVE. It’s a very catchy, foot tapper that might be on the poppier end of the soul spectrum but there’s no doubting his great soul vocal. This also made song of the week on Solar radio and also got to #10 on the Official UK Soul Charts.
In July 2019 Matthew relesed his forth single BE MY LOVE which got to #3 on the UK Soul Chart August 2019. He also penned and sang the track KEEP ON on the new COOL MILLION album STRONGER which sat at #1 for a number of weeks on the UK Soul Chart and the Solar Radio Soul Chart.
