Twenty-two years ago, Matt Singer's kindergarten teacher recommended that he be seen by a child psychologist for a formal evaluation.The doctor said this:

Although he exhibits skills in many areas, he seems unable to deal with frustration. When presented with something unfamiliar, his typical response is 'I can't,' rather than 'I'll try.' He was referred for testing to determine whether he is unable or simply unwilling to try new things.

Nowadays, Matt tries new things on stage and in recordings, telling his listeners all about his ugly demons while blending social commentary and humor. He writes personal and expressive music, bridging folk, alternative, and hip-hop, to share genuine feelings about family, romance, anxiety, higher education, and occasionally New Jersey.

Over the past few years, Matt has been filling rooms and gaining recognition. NYC crowds have enjoyed him at such venues as the Living Room, Bitter End, Sidewalk Cafe, Pianos and Rockwood Music Hall and last year, Matt was recognized by The Mid-Atlantic Song Contest, winning the Director's Prize for his song "Man with a Can ". The year before, he received honorable mention for "Scary," in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest.

Matt has released three albums, made his Family Records debut on Cross-Pollination: The Mixtape Vol. 1, and will be releasing a very special EP Winter of 2007.
