Matthew Read

In 2019, I released my first single, 'Handpicked Flowers'. I'm so happy that I did, because the song received so much love and support it gave me the confidence to release four more singles over the next 18 months, including 'A Little Taste', 'I Learnt That From You' (recorded with James Wyatt at Sloe Flower Studios), 'If I Leave In The Night' & 'For Me'.

It felt like my inspiration to write music was starting to really plateau, for many different reasons, so in January of 2021 I decided to round off an amazing two years of recording, busking, writing, and performing, with an EP - aiming to encompass all of my sounds & songwriting in four tracks before I moved into a new direction.

My EP 'Little Walks' was this project, which includes the tracks 'Where Those Lies Lead', 'If All I've Got Is You', 'She's Another One' (featuring the wonderfully talented Jasmin Nash), and 'Bus Ride to Sevilla'.

After releasing an acoustic version of ‘Bus Ride to Sevilla’ following the EP, I travelled to China, and during a lockdown I was diagnosed with cancer. It’s been a long three years, and my regenerated love for writing music helped me through this journey. I’m finally well and ready to share my next few projects.

The first of these new projects is ‘Need It Most’, which was released on April 17th & is the first track off the upcoming EP ‘Keep Your Heart Aside’ which releases in June.

If you made it this far, thank you.
