Born in Pesaro, Matthew Lee fell in love with rock and roll from an early age thanks to the records of his father, who introduced him to Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis. Showing his talent and innate love for music, he decided to enroll in the prestigious G. Rossini Conservatory in Pesaro, from which he was expelled after nearly 9 years, due to the incompatibility of his “exuberant” style with classical studies. But it was precisely this style that became the hallmark of his style and wealth. He has a large following on social media, and his improvisations on the piano at airports and stations have become famous. Matthew has currently released 7 albums and is touring with his band all over the world, with scheduled dates in France, Germany, Switzerland, the US, Dubai as well as in Italy.
