Matty A
Matty A grew up in Karratha, a small mining town in the Pilbara of Western Australia's north west coast. His first steps into music began when a kind school teacher lent him an old guitar which had blown out the back of a 'Mini Moke', and a sheet of paper with just a few chords on it.
As time passed, he managed to attend the odd music lesson here and there, but mainly taught himself to play from books and old records.
The rugged landscape and isolation of the Pilbara gradually infused itself in his music and is subsequently reflected in his song selection - keeping things simple, to the point and real.
Matty A plays a selection of the classics right through to contemporary top 40 hits to suit both the venue and occasion.
Being somewhat of a nomad, Matty has spent much of his adult life coming and going here and there. As such, he has performed in most of the major capitals and a few far-flung corners of Australia. Matty now resides back in Perth, Western Australia.
