Matt Watson is singer/songwriter/producer based in East Anglia in the UK.

“his ‘observational’ songwriting style saw him deliver an intriguing blend of alt folk meets indie.

​​A burgeoning live reputation in recent years have seen Matt share stages with artists such as Billy Bragg, Miles Hunt and Erica Nockalls (The Wonder Stuff), Julian Cope and also the The Undertones. He has also appeared as a musical guest at comedian Robin Ince’s Nine Lessons Shows in London and Manchester at the Lowry Theatre.

Festival appearances include Latitude and the prestigious festival Folk East. 

Matt is also a contributor to local charitable causes. In 2017, he toured venues all along the East Anglian coastline – on foot!

He walked 134 miles with his guitar, fundraising and gigging at events along the way.

​Previous releases include two critically acclaimed albums ‘Grounded’ and ‘The Endless Shipwreck’ which were independently released with help from the Pledge Music crowdfunding platform the latter album was mixed by legendary mixer and producer Mark Freegard.

Matt is currently working on a new album under new guise of the genre hopping project ‘The Secret Helicopters’ A project where genre isn’t a barrier. The album promises to be a creative mix further developing Matt’s already heady mix of songs and continue the upward curve of one of the UK’s brightest new songwriting talents.” (c) Matt Watson
