"With warm and heartfelt vocals, Welch infuses a heartwarming effusiveness that makes these pressing compositions timeless" - Divide & Conquer 

Matt grew up in Darwin, the Top End of Australia. His childhood consisted of bare-footed antics and outback fossicking, which continues to shape his lyrics today. At 19, Matt moved to Melbourne and studied classical guitar, simultaneously fronting and composing for bands- The Good Minus, Fly South and The Smitten. 

Matt currently writes custom music  for clients and publishers around the world including Warner Chappell Production Music, and BMG Production Music.

His music has featured in the movie- Dangerous Liaisons (Les Liaisons Dangereuses) (Netflix), shows such as "Neighbours" (Network 10), "Home and Away" (Channel 7), "Love is Blind" (Netflix), "The Real Housewives of Orange County" (Bravo), "Big Mood" (Stan), "Celebrity Ex on the Beach" (MTV), "Loaded in Paradise" (ITV2), Foxtel's "The Real Housewives of Melbourne", “The Real Housewives of Sydney” (Binge) and many more.  

As a guitarist he completed a Bachelor of Music (Honours) at The University of Melbourne, studied Sound Production (sound engineering) at RMIT, Music Performance (Jazz/Contemporary) at NMIT and was a semi-finalist in The Adelaide International Classical Guitar Competition. His band's album was also chosen as feature albums on Three D Radio and 2Bob Radio and their song, "Mechanical Shark" won the Sing Sing East  Songwriting Competition.
