Matthew Fishteyn is a true gem in the world of entertainment. Born into a family that taught him to appreciate quality music from an early age, Matthew became fascinated by the musical world. With time, he developed a knack for experimentation, and began writing his own music, out of the need to bring all of the best elements of yesterday's music styles together. In essence, he has created a unique style--a spectrum of sound.

Coming from a classical background, Matt felt that classical music with strict rules limited his train of thought. So, he began exploring Americana, finding himself in the world of blues, funk, soul, and country. However, Matt can never fully escape his classical roots. He always manages to write a contemporary classical piece here and there or garnish a blues piece with classical influence.
