MATT CHESSON MUSIC

Bio

So many amazing experiences! I spent 2 years performing with my own originals project before joining the up and coming Indie band We are Bandicoot. Jumping right into a recording session at Lana Banana Studios in Sevenoaks, we recorded our debut single 'Doom'. This quickly led to 'Temper'- my first album as a recording artist with Blizzard Records. We had great success performing around the UK, including Secret Garden Party, Boardmasters, El Dorado, LeeFest (now known as Neverworld) and a stunning show in Paris to name a few highlights.

Projects come to an end, but others soon arise. 
The next calling came from Best Intentions- a very talented Indie group from the heart of Maidstone. The project birthed 'Forever Grows'- an album made entirely by us. An intimate album launch later and we were already recording new material, trying to push ourselves as musicians to get as creative as possible under the microphones. 

Next up were Indie Rockers White Heat. The band had already crafted a distinct sound and we quickly put together an EP- 'Songs for No One'. The EP took us around some of the best of Kent and London's venues. The team became well known for taking a cardboard cut-out of Danny DeVito to gigs, purely for security reasons... Whose gonna mess with Danny DeVito?

Simultaneously, I'd begun working with the infamous party band The Real Deal Band. This has really taken off! Gigs came flooding in across the South East with everything from weddings, parties and corporate events to regular evenings at some of Kent's best Pubs. We are currently known as one of best Live Bands in the South East!

My current path- I perform a lot, however I also teach drums, both privately and through schools. It feels great helping students get the best out of their lessons! I'm also working on recording sessions for clients in 2023. The recording process is always eventful and surprising- I love it! I'm kept busy with work from The Real Deal Band, as well as featuring with London based Function group The Blue Lion Band.
