Forever...

An Exeter based worship leader, Matt, a guitarist and a classically trained pianist, has been writing songs for several years now, recording an EP in 2002 to raise money for his year 'in industry' in France. His recent songwriting reflects his journey with God thus far and his passion for scripturally rich and inspired musical worship.

Matt was born in Oxford in 1981 and spent most of his life in Newbury, Berkshire. Showing early promise of musical ability he learnt piano to a very high standard under the tutorage of Audrey Harrington-Hawes, and then taught himself guitar.

He read French & German at the University of Exeter, during which time he often led worship for the CU . Following his graduation Matt volunteered, and was accepted, on the Frontiers Impact programme, helping to develop the musical worship life at Frontiers Exeter church under the watchful eyes of Andy and Jane Arscott. Matt is now the director of music at Frontiers Church, Exeter.

Matt was married to Anna in August 2006. They currently work in the Exeter and Tiverton area.

In March 2007 Matt headlined the acoustic stage at the Nth Fest in Yeovil, Somerset and led the communal worship time in the afternoon.

Matt is managed by Honeycomb Records .

Matt is once again excited to be involved the "Passion" event in Stoke-on-Trent for 2008 - called ADORATION". He's also booked to play at the "Lantern Arts Centre" in Raynes Park, London. Check them both out here....
The amazing Jars of Clay are headlining Adoration. Don't miss out on this great 2 day festival in July.
