Few artists capture and release their passion in their tunes like Matt Purcell.
He is unique on more levels than you could assume by just seeing him. On the surface, he looks, walks, acts like a western young Asian man. But when he walks on stage and speaks his first word, strums the first chord, and sings with undeniable zeal - its magical - its magnetic.
Maybe its because he was an adopted kid from South Korea when he was a kid, and growing up in Australia bar four months of his life. Or maybe its the combination of all these things that gives Matts songs substance, that make people believe again - in love and in the pain.
He has been on stage in front of thousands, sharing it with guys like Jimmy Barnes, Daryl Braithwaite and Jon Stevens. He has also captured the hearts of those in the cafes and bars - keeps him centered. Signing to Label in South Korea has seen his music capture the hearts tens of thousands people, but here in Australia you would find him not just in the bars, on stage but also in the schools sharing his story and music to students around the country.
Some things are are certain in life -that Matt Purcell is not just another handsome young gun - he is the full package.
