From musical diplomas to being dubbed truly talented by Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child, Matt Lewis is a singer/songwriter that you will be hearing a lot more of in the very near future.
At 10, Matt realised he wanted to be involved in the industry on a larger scale when music became his self-expression, wanting to make people feel the way he did when he listened to music.
In 2003, Matt was given the opportunity to record his debut EP, "Soul Ambition" in Washington DC. Described as a mix of R&B, Pop with Soul, Matt insists, "I'm not afraid to try new things. I'm happy that I can try and come up with new ideas without being pressured into copying styles that are already done. I want to be a true musical artist."
Since the recording of the EP, Matt has been lucky enough speak with so many established artists who have nothing but praise and words of encouragement for Matt. These artists include Destiny's Child, Shola Ama, Jamelia, Nate James, and Maxee (of Brownstone) to name a few!
With gig offers and personal appearances now filling his inbox, he gives ultimate thanks to Urban Fusion, a DJ Squad which works alongside Sony BMG and Atlantic Records. “They have given me invaluable advice and opportunities.†Being pencilled in to support to Busta Rhymes with a one-off concert was in the pipeline at Cardiff’s Internation Arena, but was cancelled due to security fears.
"Music has so much power, it has the ability to touch many lives as it has done me and I just want to share my love for music and my life experiences." He realises that the industry can be fickle but no doubt will continue 110%." Music isn't what I do, its who I am! And that in itself is freedom to me!"
Matt is currently in the studio working on some brand new material! Two tracks ("Get Out" and "Let Me Know") have already been unleashed for MySpace fans to hear, leaving them eagerly anticipating what Matt is cooking up for them next...
