Mathew is a medical student who has always had a passion for music. A learner by ear and touch, not by theory, Mathew has a special relationship with music. As someone who characterizes his soul as “wistful”, “romantic”, and “dreamy”, Mathew became inspired by artists such as Yann Tiersen, Ludovico Einaudi, and Ennio Morricone. In 2016, Mathew moved to Italy and began to experience his own soul-filling adventures and associated melodies in his head with his experiences. He is thrilled about his first orchestral release “Adventures of Solitude” which Mathew says, “completely contains the emotions and character of my soul”. His first album entitled “Reverie” opens with this piece and is planned for release in the fall. Separate from his instrumental work, Mathew has written a couple of songs with lyrics. His released Italian song "La prima volta" recounts an experience he had in Siena, Italy years ago. Mathew’s songs are deeply personal, reflecting his own experiences and emotions. He hopes that his music resonates with other dreamers and romantics like himself and moves them in the same way it moves him.
Music is a way for me to escape and express all of my emotions that I cannot express verbally. I am a very outgoing and fun person, but my music tends to be more wistful, romantic, and nostalgic in tone. It allows me to express this side of me that is not usually seen on the outside.

My experiences. Whether those be in solitude, with those I love, or those I used to love.
That hope dwells in the depth of despair for those who look deep enough.
Nervous but excited!
I feel like a lot of songs are formulaic these days. I hope that each artist embarks on their own journey of creativity.
So far, so good! Just got it.
The difficulty of finding a recording studio and paying for equipment.
I go to concerts here and there. I love live music!
I feel like if you are good at marketing or have connections, it is a lot easier to get your music heard. These connections do not necessarily correlate to quality music, but it sure helps with outreach!
