From the rarified air of Lincoln Center to the down and dirty streets of Greenwich Village, Matt White has long been on a journey towards finding his ideal form of musical expression. Now, with Do You Believe, the New York City-based singer/songwriter has crafted an album that captures the depth and breadth of his artistic vision. Marked by an organic, acoustic-based sonic approach that matches perfectly with White’s vivid vocals and earnest lyricism, songs such as “Miracles” and the buoyant first single, “Best Days,” are alive with raw, heartfelt emotions that are simultaneously deeply personal and wholly universal.
Making music was the New Jersey-born White’s destiny from the very beginning. In fact, music ran in his blood – his parents played violin and piano, while his grandmother was among the first female jazz orchestra leaders of the 1930s. White studied piano at the Manhattan School of Music from the tender age of 3, training in classical performance, music theory and later, jazz improvisation. He quickly displayed a precocious talent for arrangement and composition, at 11 penning an opera which saw him winning a prestigious Metropolitan Opera competition.
“To be honest, I never really excelled at any of it,” White says. “It was more like I spoke on the piano. Music was my way of articulating myself.”
After high school, White attended the University of Wisconsin, where he taught himself to play guitar, mostly for expediency’s sake – “I couldn’t fit a piano in my college room,” he laughs.

Doesn't Matt remind you of Landon Pigg? If you don't know who he is, you know his music. He wrote that song "Falling in Love At a Coffee Shop" that's in the AT&T commercial. Anyways, his new album is out on 9/29. Is anyone checking him out in NYC at the Bowery Ballroom on 10/8?
