Matthew Nicholson is a saxophonist, singer-songwriter and music producer from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. On stage he is a force of nature whose presence captivates his audience. His music is laid-back yet emotive and has evolved from an edgier pop sound to a mellow jazz-and-blues tone. He crosses stylistic boundaries and values simple melody over flashy technique, which allows the depth, character and darker shades of his music to shine through. As a songwriter he strives to create music that is honest and true to his vision while remaining accessible, with a story contained in each song.
