Bio
Matty was born in a small town in New Jersey and moved to
Syracuse at the age of 4. Living with his mom and brother in a
small ranch house in a suburb of Syracuse he gained interests
in music and picked up his first guitar (an old beat up Horner)
at the age of 13. Not knowing much about it or music he
messed around on it learning more and more each day.
Finally getting a job as a child care director he bought his next
guitar $100 Crestline) which was stolen and never found. Matty
went without a guitar for two years and finally at the age of 17
saved up and bought a Peavey Acoustic/Electric which he still
plays today. His Peavey is now equipped with Fischman Rare
Earth single coil magnetic pick up and controlled with a
Fischman Pro-Eq equalizer! Matty's influence's are Peter
Mulvey, Pamela Means,and Dave Matthews.
