Thank you, Michael! It was a pleasure performing Billy Joel songs at your holiday event. I appreciate your helping me determine the song list ahead of time (about four weeks for me to practice and study), as well as the event being so smooth itself. -Matt

December 22, 2025I had Matt play for my dad’s birthday dinner. He showed up early and played beautifully. Made for a very memorable night. Would highly recommend booking him.

Thank you, Bijan! The performance at your private venue was exactly as I had hoped, and I am so glad that your family understood the music, as well as some of the finer details about composers like Robert Schumann, Bach, and Beethoven.

December 8, 2025From the beginning of my booking Matt was invested into my event 100%. He was flexible for rehearsals and answered any questions I had. He made my event successful and I’m grateful for his contribution in making my night a core memory!

August 26, 2025Matt provided the entertainment for our volunteer appreciation brunch at a charitable organization. His music really made the event! He had a seemingly endless selection—everything from beautiful classical pieces to contemporary or jazzy songs—and he could transition between them absolutely seamlessly. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how wonderful the music was! Matt was also perfectly professional to work with. His communication was great, he showed up early, he was kind to everyone, and he performed within the schedule exactly how we needed. We could not have been happier, and highly, highly recommend him. Thank you, Matt!

Hello! I'm a Classical + Jazz pianist.
I am based in San Diego and travel up to Orange County and Temecula.
I am pleased to offer my services, and I look forward to meeting you.
As a professional musician, I am often arranging, composing, or performing for others. I like to geek out about music theory, but most of all I feel my job is to make moment unique and memorable.
My background stems from private Classical training (most of childhood), followed by Jazz teachers (incl. Mark Levine, a well-known writer), a course performance Jazz taught at UC Berkeley, and a variety of resources ranging from YouTuber, Musescore (online community).
I don't currently have detailed technical requirements for my shows or performances.
