HIT THE ROOF is the ultimate eclectic experience. The duo take their inspiration from exposure to different musical thinking, thus possessing their very own creative language. MATT plays the keys. He writes the melodies, the words, and produces. Born into a family with rich musical traditions, Matt learned to appreciate quality music. He became fascinated by the musical world at an early age. Having a knack for experimentation, Matt began writing his own music out of the need to bring all of the best elements of yesterday's music styles together. In essence, he has created a unique style--a spectrum of sound. Coming from a classical background, Matt felt that classical music with strict rules limited his train of thought. So he began exploring Americana, finding himself in the world of blues, funk, soul, and country. However, Matt can never fully escape his classical roots. He always manages to write a contemporary classical piece here and there, or garnish a blues piece with classical influence. This combination of classical music with the blues opened the door into the progressive rock genre. In addition to music, Matthew was featured in a number of national television commercials and shows. He also lended his voice to many voiceovers throughout the years. ALBERT plays the drums. It's one thing to feel the rhythm; it's another to play it. Being Matt's younger brother, he also has broad musical abilities. He loves transitioning from one rhythmic style to another, all within the same piece. Under the study of well-known drum educator and clinician, Jim Toscano, Albert has been exposed to an array of rhythmic patterns, which he uses to accommodate Matt's melodies and songs. He too was featured in a number of national television commercials, including a spot for J.C. Penney, in which he displayed his rudimentary drumming skills. a spectrum of sound.
