Bio / Background
Raised in the south suburbs of Chicago, Matt Kanelos started playing the piano at seven. Not long into his lessons, Matt's mother knew that the junky spinet in the corner would not go to the garbage man any time soon. Matt liked it. He played it a lot.
Soon Matt began fashioning his own "original compositions," indiscriminately incorporating sounds from sources like Yanni, Bruce Hornsby, Super Mario Brothers, Kenny G, Wizards and Warriors, Richard Marx, etc. Once Matt turned fourteen, he started lessons with a jazz piano teacher who gradually weaned him away from pop/new-age music. Matt stopped writing music...but he got pretty good at the piano.
At eighteen, Matt started his four years of classical piano training at Chicago Musical College. He still didn't write any music...but he kept getting better at the piano.
Though he enjoyed studying classical piano in college, Matt was eager to write and play music that felt more natural for him.
