Edit history

Matt Green is an Australian singer-songwriter with an integrity that can only come from abundant life experience, as evidenced by his music: “I don't think you can be good at life without acknowledging the part of you that isn't good, reflecting on these moments helps me to pen a story”. Coming from a musical family, Green absorbed the musical influences of his parents and siblings' record collections and when he was six years old he asked his mother for a guitar. He quickly learned to emulate his early blues guitar heroes and rock- gods of the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s which has led to a 25-year international career as a gun for hire for people such as Renee Geyer, Missy Higgins and Simon Felice. When people say an artist's first album is their life’s work, that is definitely the case here. Matt Green's debut LP Great Divide takes us on a journey through the music that has shaped him to this day. The album was recorded at Union Street Studios and features some of the greats of the Melbourne music scene including Danny Farugia (Missy Higgins, Tina Arena), Tim Keegan (Liz Stringer, Mia Dyson) and Zane Lindt (Jordie Lane, Luke Sinclair). It was produced by Roger Bergodaz (Tex Perkins, Lost Ragas). After the first few days of recording, the raw and dynamic sound of the musicians proved that a few live takes were all that were needed to craft a future classic. Matt Green proves that continually having the courage to be humble, the perseverance to push through the tough times, and never forgetting to love and be loved helps to create a story that the universe needs to know.
