Asheville, North Carolina based artist, Matt Williams, is best known for his ability to collaborate while remaining his own unique musical voice in the studio and on the stage.

He has evolved constantly as a songwriter since his debut album, "First Light" (2001), recorded when he was just sixteen years old. From there, Williams recorded two additional studio albums, "Your Last Make-Believe" (2005), "Particles Vol. 1" (2007); each exploring new concepts and music genres. He also documented his beginnings as a solo live loop-sampling artist with the release of a live record, "Ladies and Gentlemen" in 2004.

Currently, Williams composes and sings with two rising southeast bands, Tiny Boxes and The Ocean. Collaborating with progressive/rock/fusion guitarist Bon Lozaga (Gong, Gongzilla) in Tiny Boxes, the blend of Matt's pop and jazz meets funky rock and roll with some progressive twists. The Ocean, a group formed to perform Williams' most recent album rock, is outfitted with a top-notch rhythm section featuring Sean Mason and Ryan Reardon of Vertigo Jazz Project.

Living and working in such talented musical circles, Matt also performs with several of his colleague's groups including Zansa, Asheville Jazz All-Stars, and Josh Blake's Juke Box while frequently making guest appearances with Vertigo Jazz Project, The Mantras, Holy Ghost Tent Revival, and more.

Williams has a degree in Commercial Music from Western Carolina University, where he attended on scholarships and studied jazz with IAJE award-winner Pavel Wlosok, media production with Dr. Bruce Frazier, and guitar with Steve Wholrab.

Matt Williams continues to gain business credibility as the founder and operator of Mended Heart Records, an independent record label that sponsors a compilation project each year with NC-based million dollar non-profit, Band Together. He is becoming a sought-after producer, working with acts like Secret Agent 23 Skidoo, Stephanie's Id, Wooden Toothe, and more in his recording studio, The Eagle Room in Weaverville, NC.

Tiny Boxes is on tour now with special guests like Jake Cinninger and Joel Cummins of jamband giants, Umphrey's McGee and bassist Ryan Martinie (Mudvayne).

Coming next from Williams and The Ocean, a debut studio release on Mended Heart Records, "Symphonies In Sea": A return to melody and marketability, the album promises to capture the attention of even the most critical listeners.
