Real name: Matthew James Steady

Effective period / Period of releases: 2023

Singer/songwriter Matt Steady of Leicester, England, chooses to identify his sound with blues and folk, reflected in his intimate live performances, but his recordings draw from a much broader palette of musical genres. Having been classically trained in piano, violin and musical theory, Steady’s growing frustration with the “notes on the page” philosophy eventually led to him picking up a guitar, emulating blues legends by ear instead. After years of performing what he describes as “extra-ordinary covers”, he has clearly experienced enough joy and heart-ache to allow him to write genuine and honest, nontrivial lyrics.
