Alongside Nieve, Matt has performed hundreds of shows across the UK and Europe, including major festival slots to thousands at Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds Festivals, Electric Picnic, Boardmasters, and Lollapalooza.

He has toured the continent performing at venues including Dublin’s 3Arena and London’s Wembley Arena as support for both Inhaler, and Girl In Red, and has headlined sold-out venues including Koko London, New Century Hall Manchester, and is due to headline the prestigious O2 Kentish Town Forum this autumn, as part of Nieve's debut album tour.

Matt has also recorded live sessions for BBC Radio 1 at Maida Vale studios, NPO 3FM in the Netherlands, and his performances at Glasgow’s TRSNMT Festival have been broadcast live on the BBC.

His studio work has also been showcased on BBC Radio 1, with both Nieve Ella and Kilu, a rising London-based talent.

Matt's work has recently been recognised by British Drum Company, who he proudly endorses both on stage and in the studio.
