Asheville, North Carolina based recording artist, Matt Williams, has released four albums reaching listeners with his evolving blend of Folk, Rock, Jazz, and Pop.
His debut album, "First Light", was recorded when he was just sixteen years old. Since it's release, in 2001, Williams has independently produced three additional records, each exploring new concepts and music genres.
Because of his varying approaches to music, Matt's live shows have remained variety-filled and continually interesting for fans that have followed his career. Using the art of live loop-sampling, Matt layers the colors of his full array of string instruments alongside various percussion elements (guitar percussion, hand drums, shakers) to create the surprisingly-thick sound of his solo performances. When performing with others, Matt is accompanied by some of the best players from around the region.
His latest release, "Particles - Volume 1" (2007), boasts contrasting tunes of mass and simplicity, preaching the album's concept that "All of us are ONE" while his 2005 effort, "Your Last Make-Believe", is a reminder to keep dreams alive.
Coming in 2010, the Mended Heart Records debut release "Symphonies In Sea": The uptempo/downtempo contrast of the album promises to make it a repeat listener's record. Enlisting the stylings of Asheville's finest jazz and pop players, the new music will be sure to turn the heads of even the most critical..
