專家介紹
嗨！我叫Matt，我是來自英國的小提琴手和貝斯手。我年幼時即接受古典小提琴的訓練。
我畢業於倫敦英國國王學院音樂系（學士學位)，16歲的時候拾起貝斯吉他；有15年的時間擔任職業貝斯手和低音大提琴手，曾在英國與國際巡迴的音樂劇團裡演奏，包括知名音樂劇『Ｍama Mia!』國際巡迴場。
我在2016年搬到台灣居住，一開始從事英語教學，隨後表演與家教爵士小提琴。我曾在台北地區許多場地表演過，包括：台北世貿和雅痞書店。我也固定參加台北地區的爵士即興活動。
Hi I'm Matt, I'm a violin player and bass guitarist from the UK. Classically trained on the violin and piano from an early age, I graduated in music (BMus) from King's College London. At the age of 16, I took up the bass guitar. I played bass guitar and double bass professionally for 15 years, performing in many musical theatre productions in the UK and internationally, including the international tour of Mamma Mia! from 2008 -2012. In 2016 I came to Taiwan, first teaching English then performing and teaching jazz violin. I have performed in many venues around Taipei including the World Trade Centre and the Yuppy Bookstore Cafe. I regularly attend jazz open mic events around Taipei.
