About Me

MyGen Profile Generator Hey all, Im Matt Hart otherwise known as a long line of nicknames the favourites being Matt Shred, Shredder, Shredder Mike (dont ask I KNOW MY NAME ISNT MIKE!) and matticus. Im a full time musician and student at Goldsmiths University in London and i study Popular Music. Basically my course is the nuts and like any student i drink and smoke anything that can be drunk or smoked far too much and love it! i get to play music all day every day and get a degree after 3 years for doing something i enjoy! What could be more perfect? Been playing music for most of my life on various instruments but due to illness now only play one, but to be fair its the best one so who cares =P Being a lead guitarist i love my rock and metal music but also have a huge passion for blues music and consider myself an extremely versatile player who loves to rip out a crazy solo when ever its needed! Finally I love to gig! to play in front of an audience is by far the best high anyone could ever feel and to have your music appreciated by others, the best reward.***This Summer See me play every Wednesday and Thursday evenings in Chichester, West Sussex! on Wednesdays im at 'La Havana' which is at the back of Marks and Spencer (East Street) and Thursdays im at 'The Chichester Inn' which is at the very end of West Street. Both nights kick off at around 8:30pm Feel Free to email me over myspace for any more details! a fantastic night is guaranteed to all who attend! hope to see u all there!***
