I’ve worked with Matt for well over 5 years and have him for his exceptional cello and piano playing on tracks I’ve done with the likes of: Kool G Rap, Saigon, Richard Darbyshire.
He has a great ear for music and melodies and he has never let me down and always adds something special and unique to tracks and scores that he has done. I can not thank him and recommend his services highly enough.

I have had the privilege of working with Matt on various projects, as Cellist, Strings arranger and programmer. He is always my first choice in those roles with creativity, patience and professionalism in all the projects he is involved with.
I highly recommend Matt as a musician and source of inspiration though his work.
Matt did fantastic work for me – lovely lovely parts that were sensitive to the modd and emotion of the song – stood out amongst all the session musicians I worked with. Top class.
Matt is not only a great Cellist, he is also a true professional. I hired him for some Cello work for my self produced album here in America. Despite being miles across the Atlantic and my being musically illiterate, Matt was able to instruct me on how to send him my song so that he could put his Cello overtop my track. To hear the track it sounds as if I had him in the studio with me. If I ever needed Cello work, I would go to him exclusively. Thanks Matt!
Matt is a true talent. I booked him for a recording session and I love the sound and atmosphere he brought to my songs. He has a wonderful musical ear for melody and true feeling that will add emotion and movement to your songs. I can’t wait to play with him again!
Matt is a wonderful musician. His cello performances are always beautiful and very expressive. The sound of his cello is warm and silky and the quality of his recording are excellent. He is very professional and delivered the recordings quickly. Thank you Matt for your recordings!
Matt has delieverd beyond my expectations. Wonderful playing, beautifully captured and turned-around very quickly – it’s like he read my mind!
Matt will be my go-to cellist and arranger from now on.

I recently used Matt to record a cello part for a TV commercial. He turned around the part quickly and it sounded wonderful…he listened to what I wanted and got it right the first time. I look forward to working with him a gain.
Matt’s playing is beautiful. He is very professional and friendly to work with online. He has played the cello melody exactly the way I imagined it in my head. Thank you so much for your time and work. :O)
