Matt is of European, Native American and Hispanic ancestry. As an enrolled member of the Fort Berthold Reservation, his native heritage originates from the Mandan-Hidatsa tribes of North Dakota and the Oneida tribe of Wisconsin. The historical area of Bismarck/Mandan in which he grew up and the people who live there, are just some of the many influences that helped him to create his unique style of music. By age 15, Matt was composing piano music and by age 17 had mastered the art of Native American flute. Now at age 21, Matt is known world wide for his truly relaxing music, both Native American Flute and Piano.
