About / Biography

Hello and welcome to the world of Piano Matt. Are you looking for music for your wedding, event, or something else? Do you want somebody who personalise your music selections, can help you choose, and fit into your ceremony or event with no fuss? If so, I'd love to be considered to play for you, let's have a chat and see what amazing music we can come up with for you.

I'm an experienced pianist who loves playing all kinds of music, honestly nothing is off limits. Classical, pop, rock, your favourite Disney song, I'm more than happy to build a programme based on what you like. I'm classically trained, but always enjoy taking on new songs or pieces, or arranging that special song for piano so you can get that perfect moment for your wedding, anniversary, party, or event. I love to see the reaction of people when they hear the music they've chosen, for their big day,

My strength is my flexibility – I am classically trained, specialising in expressive romantic piano music, however I can happily play jazz, rock/pop, or any mixture of styles to match your requirements and tastes. Whether you know exactly what you want or you need some guidance through the process of choosing your music, I will be on hand all the way to help you choose and to provide you with top quality piano music for your event. I can learn new pieces or songs to fit your requirements.

I am also able to offer vocals as an extra, with accompaniment by myself on piano or guitar. Please contact me to discuss this.

All music will be provided to the best possible standard on good quality equipment, including my digital piano and amplification suitable for the venue.

As an experienced musician, I can also offer other musical services. Happy to be an accompanist, to record backing tracks for singers or instrumentalists, song arrangements, or as a dep musician.

Please contact me to discuss options.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I require a space of 5ft wide by 3ft deep, in the vicinity of a electrical outlet - I will bring everything else. A parking space near to the area I'll be performing in would be ideal, or at least a temporary loading area.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I provide my own self contained PA system for my piano and/or vocals


What information do you require about a venue?

Just whether there will be space for me near a plug socket


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

This is not something I offer unfortunately

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

I genuinely enjoy something about every single gig I play, but a highlight for me was playing a classical concert from the bandstand in the park in Leamington Spa - it was a beautiful day and the most amazing atmosphere


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I'm very varied with my influences and what I can draw from - my main influence is classical music but that doesn't mean that's all I play as I love bringing my style to current contemporary music as well. I'm very influenced by Jacob Collier who is just an incredible musician, and lots of others such as Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, Yann Tiersen, and even artists such as Jeff Buckley, Chris Cornell and David Bowie.
There are so many great songs, but I still insist that Somewhere Over The Rainbow is the greatest song ever written, just absolute perfection in music


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I've been playing piano since I was seven, I've played in jazz bars, done concerts, accompanied singers, accompanied myself singing, I was even a church organist for a while. I set myself up to play for events after getting married in 2021, and finding that wedding suppliers were the happiest people I've ever encountered - I can see why now, as the joy from playing for people on their special occasions is really powerful.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

I'm happy to play at any event where the guests want to listen to and enjoy good quality piano music

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Set Up and Set Down time is max 30 minutes.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes absolutely! As long as there's a power socket within reach (i've an extension reel of about 20m), I'm happy to play anywhere.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

I offer a totally bespoke personalised service! I'll never force you to choose from a set list of music as that's just not good service and is absolutely not how I like to operate. It's your day, you should have your choice of music


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Enthusiastic, tasteful, and chilled - but most importantly, just what my clients ask for!
