Matthew

Born a true musician, Matthew Sherrard has been writing, singing, and playing music for a huge part of his life. Growing up he taught himself how to sing and later came the guitar playing. Some huge influences he had while developing his musical skills were Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails), Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Maynard James Keenan (Tool/A Perfect Circle), and Brandon Boyd (Incubus)...to name a few.
While raised, being surrounded by many different types of music helped Matt develop a broad musical spectrum. When writing he is able to blend many musical styles together to come up with new, unique sounds but he is careful not to stray from being easy on the ears.
Dreams of being in a band and performing for audiences formed early in his head and are still there to this day. "Every moment spent awake is devoted to reaching farther towards my dream" says Matt. "Whether playing for an actual audience or sitting in my room playing music by myself music makes me feel alive!"
Right now Matt is as devoted as ever to keep writing and coming up with new unique sounds. He is gaining much independence with his solo music as well, and taking on many creative roles. This gives him a great deal of freedom and unlimited amounts of creativity and expression.

"One voice, one guy, one guitar; Matthew Sherrard is all about emotion in his acoustic melodies. The singer/songwriter from Seattle, Washington combines a flavorful mix of emo and distinct pop to blend a definitive one man piece of art."
