Matt Featherstone

Franco British soul/jazz singer with soulful vocals and a vintage sound, Matt's debut EP 'Beyond' co-written with Corben Lee is a colorful reflection on the meaning of our busy lives. Matt grew up in a musical family, singing backing vocals for his father, in church and in various gospel choirs from a young age. That early influence lead him to work as a session singer, and backing vocalist for various artists in France and the UK. He's been lucky enough to perform with people such as Bobby Mcferrin, Cleo Laine, Kenny Wheeler, Norma Winstone, Natalie Williams, Lara Fabian, Kwabs and Nao. As well as being lead singer for several soul function bands, Matt does a lot of work with Shlomo and the Vocal Orchestra as a singer and beatboxer and with GetGospel, a London based funky gospel ensemble. He studied jazz singing with Lee Gibson, as a second study to his classical flute degree at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and is the principal flautist of the BBC NOW as well as a professor at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
​After many years of singing other people's material, he is delighted to be working on his own songs with co-writer and pianist Corben Lee. Expect an old school soul sound with a hint of jazz and hiphop!
