Matt Hutchison is a singer songwriter, born and bred in Manchester, England.
He's played under the name of ortoPilot since 2002.
Over ther years, influences persuaded his writing towards many different styles, until he finally found his passion for acoustic guitar.
Practicing most days and throwing a few lyrics over the top of riffs developed into him gigging around local pubs and small venues, with the djembe man Nathan, testing out the live scene.
Then came the online MySpace competition. Entrants had to submit a 'live lounge' style recording which would be judged by people at the Sony BMG A&R department. Choosing a popular Orson track to cover did the trick, because out of over 200 people, Matt got the place of 'Runner Up'.
Over the moon with this result and having had such a good reaction from the local crowds, Matt felt indulged to take his music to the next level. His brother (Allan) and a few friends (Mike, Matt, Nathan) were more than eager to jump on board... and thus... ortoPilot, as a band, was formed
They have just finished recording their first album together 'High's and Goodbye's' and are looking forward to bringing the sound to the stage..
