Matt Belcher is an Acoustic Singer Songwriter from Southport whose recordings incorporate many different genres of music, around his own indie style.
He is currently working on a 3rd original album, and a 2nd covers album (Sketches 2) which are both due for independent release before the end of September 2010. His performances tend to consist of both original material and cover songs, and can at times be unpredictable.
Matts first taste of music was on the Piano at the age of 4 when he would sit at the keyboard and start playing by ear. By the age of 9 he was playing the guitar - and picked up various other instruments along the way. At age 15 he got his grade 8 on piano, and went on to complete a performance Diploma. It is then that Matt started using this ability to write songs, opting for a simpler creative approach rather than using the technical ability he is capable of.
In most recent years he has been approaching songwriting from a more spiritual angle and using different techniques to tap into a sea of consciousness. Quantum Physics, Philosophy, Psychology, Religion and Emotion have all played a role in this new approach believing that there is much more than the 3D boundaries we live in.
As well as these new songwriting ideas, Matt Belcher has been experimenting with many different instruments - none of which are off limits. His most recent festival performance at the Jedi Music Festival in Southport, to much surprise, used a Didgeridoo player, Soprano Sax, Congas, Violin, and a Rhodes Keyboard, and finished off using a Choir.
