Biography:

Matthew Tavis Johnson was born on December 30, 1982. He got his start on the piano when he was 4, just poking around with 1 finger, wondering what you were supposed to do with so many white and black keys. He continued to play through his childhood without any formal lessons, and began experimenting with writing his own material at age 14. At age 18, his first CD of orginal compositions titled "A Brighter View" was created! Now at 23, his talent and understanding of the piano have allowed him to compose beautiful melodies that people of all ages can relate with and enjoy.

Matt has performed in concert mainly on the West Coast, including sites such as San Diego,California, Oregon State University and Olympia, Washington.

Matt spent the majority of his childhood in Santa Cruz California near the ocean. At age 12 Matt and his family moved to Oregon, where he remains today. He graduated from Oregon State University in 2006 with a major in Communication. Matt played all 4 years on the Beavers soccer team as well, receiving PAC-10 honors as early as his freshman year. Through college Matt performed on many occasions, including Japanese night, and for the mid-day matinee. Matt enjoys traveling as well, and has had the opportunity to travel to and perform in Costa Rica, Vietnam, and Japan.
