Born and raised on the shores of South Florida, composer Matt Farr works to bring his music to the big screen. Getting started at a very young age, Matt was writing full songs by the age of 12 years old. With both parents musicians themselves (pianists) he quickly gravitated to the piano and later on to voice with both classical and jazz training. Throughout his high school years Matt formally performed with jazz bands and vocal ensembles as well as with numerous area rock groups. In addition to performing in a variety of shows, and winning band competitions, he landed his first professional gig a the age of 17 on Miami Beach.

In 1993 Matt attended the University of Miami’s prestigious Studio Music and Jazz program only to leave the school prematurely to pursue opportunities both on and off the stage. Matt currently studies Film Composition at Berklee School of Music. 

In 2010 Matt’s first self titled solo album was released featuring long time collaborator Craig Stevens, Craig Barnette on drums, and Eric Brigmond on organ. The album received favorable reviews and was supported by an east coast tour. Matt has shared the stage or supported acts such as The Family Stone, Five For Fighting, Shaggy, Jason Newsted, Pat Travers, Ryan Montebleau, The New Orleans Suspects, and more.

Currently Matt’s time is spent focusing on collaborative writing projects and compositions for film/tv/games and other visual media. In a very competitive landscape of extremely talented composers, Matt’s goal is to standout both musically and personally to grow his filmography. Writing for film is a passion, and it takes a musical prospective that Matt feels he possesses and loves greatly.
