Bio:

Matt The Music Man is more than your typical man from Nova Scotia with a guitar. He's also quite possibly the only children's performer around with a pirate hat and a platypus for a sidekick.

After writing and performing music for almost 20 years, Matt became inspired to write children's songs with the arrival of his first child. Using humour to write about things he enjoyed seemed to strike a chord in young ears. Matt discovered the joys of performing for young children and getting them involved.

Today, Matt is performing for children across Nova Scotia. Using fun props and instruments to engage children has proven to help make his shows a success. He is currently recording a fun-filled album of original songs titled, "Songs For Kids Age 1 to 101", due to be released in the summer of 2014. The humourous nature of songs such as Fat Cat, Pat the Platypus, Hot Dogs & Cookies and Garbage Day are hits with children and adults alike.

The smiles, laughs and voices singing in response to his performances are the rewards that continue to drive Matt. He is extremely excited to continue to share his children's music with Nova Scotia and the world!
