Matt Kee
While not quite born with an instrument in hand, Matt’s parents saw to it that that the two met quickly. While enrolled in piano lessons for several years, Matt’s burgeoning talent and love of music began to unearth themselves. It wasn’t long before audiences gathered after school while Matt wrote and performed new songs in the music room. It was here that Matt learned more about music theory and focused his efforts on harmonization and vocal registries.
Involved for a long time in his school’s choir, Matt first delved into the local music scene with the creation of Mary’s Grand, a boy band he started with friends. Until 2005, Mary’s Grand enjoyed some local success, but in September of that year the band parted ways. Closer friends than ever, other goals were now each member’s prerogative. Matt’s prerogative: a solo career.
After receiving recognition for both his voice and his performance skills while with Mary’s Grand, Matt set out to the beat of his own drum – or drum kit, depending on the mood – and has been playing local shows on his own, and accompanied by special guests, for the better part of a half decade.
Matt’s home-grown style of R&B-infused soul, his ability to blend styles and to seamlessly move between genres, and the emotion with which he ties it all together with are truly a breath of fresh air for musiclovers.
Start loving Matt Kee. He already loves you.
