So what can you expect when you book Matthew Mayer for an event?
Expect to have a high quality return on the INTENT of your event. That is Mayer's focus when working with select clientelle.

A perfect setting for an evening with Matthew Mayer may include a high end cocktail party, followed by one or two songs where the audience is silent for a couple minutes while Mayer performs 1 or 2 intimate solo pieces. This is perfect for your event when you need just a small "silent break" and entertaining your crowd with a piano player where your audience responds "I've never quite heard or seen anything like that"....there was "something special about that solo piano performance".

For Cocktail parties alone, Mayer is an expert in making sure the "vibe of the room" is matched with a selection of solo piano music that keeps the emotional temperature where you want it. Is your event in a gallery and want it intimate with champaign while people are walking around? Mayer's contemporary piano pieces with improvisation is a perfect way to compliment your audience. Looking for more of an "upbeat" feel to your holiday party, Mayer's upbeat and emotional tugging versions of Holiday favorites will delight the background ear of your guests.

For even more unique experiences, invite Mayer into your living room on your baby grand piano, to provide a 30 minute set of piano playing and storytelling as you treat your guests to wine and cheese in the comfort of your own home. In combination with a fundraising event, or in need of a corporate piano player to fill the air for your high end clients during dinner, Mayer has filled that needed high end gap with unique and classy performances around the globe.

Need 20 minutes of intro music before a glamorous wedding? Or perhaps a singa long with Christmas favorites over Holiday beverages, expect a professional to be a part of your special event.

Matthew Mayer is not your typical pianist. He is one your crowd will remember. One your clients will feel.

From growing up in a town with no stoplights, to performing in front of thousands, and eventually reaching millions of listeners worldwide, #1 Billboard Charting Artist Matthew Mayer, has a story as curious and risk-taking as the music he creates.

Growing up in rural Canistota, South Dakota, Matthew’s first foray into the world of music came at age 12, when he discovered the piano – and with it, a lifelong love. Inspired by legendary solo piano godfather, George Winston, Matthew would debut his piano talents to patients at the Ortman Chiropractic Clinic, setting up each Wednesday evening on an old upright, to share an hour of piano and storytelling. With often as little as just two listeners in attendance, this is where Mayer began his live piano-show journey - and continues to perform for intimate crowds.

As of 2023, Matthew has an extensive catalogue of more than 17 piano albums and a laundry list of expansive singles.

His solo journey took him to packing up his car in the summer of 2001, and driving out to Hollywood. Spending two years working at NBC's Television Entertainment Show, Access Hollywood, Mayer's introductory into the entertainment business was both eye-opening, and motivating.

Mayer's 'put it on the line' mentality at an early age, mixed with the midst of a passionate release schedule, came a wave of accolades and global recognition even hitting the pinnacle of the New Age music scene in 2018 when he reached #1 on the Billboard Charts.

In recent years, Matthew’s music has become synonymous with the explosion of viral online content and music streaming. From his 2022 album ‘Piano Lullabies’ quickly amassing more than 100 million streams on Amazon Music, to his latest hit ‘When Flowers Grew Wild’ being used as the soundtrack to more than 80,000 Instagram Reels from creators across the world, Matthew has met the 21st century musical evolution head on and tackled it with a smile.

Having experienced first hand the journey of a small town pianist to large crowds, Matthew has dedicated much of his life to the genre of solo piano, and helping other independent artists shine in the process.

Today, you can find Matthew Mayer’s music on all major streaming platforms and discover more about the journey of an aspiring solo pianist from his podcast, Going Solo.

Mayer has embarked on three Croatia Tours with Croatia's most talented and versatile composer, Matej Mestrovic performing in the National Theaters of Zagreb, Rijeka, Split, and Varazdin, opening for talents including Turkey’s Hakan Ali Toker, and Croatia’s own Matija Dedic. He has also performed with Matej and the talented Antonija Pacek on the island of Brijuni with even movie stars like Rade Serbedzija in attendance.

Matthew is also a contributor and guest writer on the popular CD Baby DIY Musician Blog, specializing on being an independent artist in the music industry today, and recently spoke at the CD Baby Music Conference in Austin, TX.
