MATTHEW MEI with YOU BRIGHT MINDS

About Me

BIOGRAPHYMatthew Mei, also known as the Preachers son, is a regular performer at local venues around the city of Vancouver, brandishing his mix between folk, rock, hip hop, and the blues. This SOP (son of a preacher), has done humanitarian in his youth, having worked with people living in the Downtown East side of Vancouver. It seemed as though Matthew would have followed in his fathers footsteps, taking four years at theological education, but decided to take another route. As a young adult, he has worked various jobs including, master baker, carpet layer, and strip club manager. Ultimately those career options could not sway Matthew from his love of music and pursuing a career as a musician. Incidentally, this decision also saved his father from another heart attack. Inspired to write music and play guitar by a childhood girlfriend, Matthew has taken his passion of music to become a self-taught writer, studio engineer, and producer of his own music. Drawing from his childhood exposure to folk, gospel, and church music to his adolescent preferences of jazz, blues and alternative, Matt has developed his sound to blend those musical influences together. His experiences as a child, to the different jobs held, have given Matthew a glimpse of the highs and lows of the human experience which are incorporated into the music that he writes
