Bio:
I’m a multi-genre Vocalist and Bassist. Genre wise I specialize in “heavy” music, not necessarily rock or metal but heavier music in general. I also specialize in Jazz, Funk, Classical and almost any other genre but personally I enjoy “heavier” music. I’ve been singing for 6 years and have studied both vocal jazz and chamber choir in that time. I’ve been playing bass for 10 years now both upright and electric. I’ve been studying music theory for 9 years and have spent lots of time in both classical/common practice period and jazz theory so I know my in’s and out’s of music. I’ve been professionally performing music for 4 years now mostly as a subbing bassist and lead vocalist & bassists for the New Wave of American Metal band Devil’s Knights and my solo work which is all written and recorded by me under Matt Rivas. Currently I am seeking a new group of musicians who share an open-minded approach to music as I do so I am definitely open to any experimental groups or bands exploring new places. I am really looking for people who take music seriously but still know how to have fun. No specific amount of knowledge or anything is that important as long as your heart is in it.
