Music was the first and is the purest expression of creativity for Matt.  As his career began on a traditional path, he found success in Nashville as a songwriter and artist.  Music from his debut release “Let it Shine” was featured in multiple network television shows, advertisements, an independent film, was featured on the Grammy ballot in six categories, received scores of positive reviews, and garnered the DISCovery Award from Music Row Magazine. Since then, Martino has forged ahead with a more non-traditional approach, and his music has become a soundtrack for his increasingly diverse, multi-faceted, life.
