About
Matt Bradshaw is a singer-songwriter producer-performer now living in Melbourne, Australia.
For almost two decades, Matt has been involved with almost every facet of the entertainment industry, from live performance to studio production to bookings. He has played thousands (and thousands) of gigs spanning China, the UAE, SE Asia, Europe, the USA and Australia.
He can be heard performing on multiple CD and Spotify/iTunes releases (he once had a publishing contract with Sony Asia for songs he co-wrote and recorded in Mandarin!), and has made many television and stage appearances as a lead and backing vocalist, guitarist, keyboard player, bass player and actor.
Matt has written film scores and TV show themes (the Award-winning cartoon “Get Ace” is available worldwide), and is also involved in live theatre – he is the Musical Director for Dracula’s Theatre Restaurant both in situ on the Gold Coast as well as for their touring shows, is involved in various facets of music production for Harvest Rain Theatre Company in Queensland, he is the Musical Director for “Rebel” a David Bowie-themed circus show, plus he regularly works as a musical consultant on different projects.
In addition to his own original music career (seven new songs released during lockdown), Matt also writes and produces songs for other artists – Melbourne artist ‘Benice Music’ has just released their new single “Queen of Hearts”, and first-time collaborator with Matt ‘Zsuzi & Anth Duo’ currently has their song “Helping Hand” in the Top 10 “International Song for Kindness” contest.
As a live performer Matt can regularly be seen in venues as a solo artist, in a duo, and with many bands some six-to-eight times a week, plus regular touring commitments to various festivals and private events both around Australia and overseas.
He has performed at a variety of functions that have included guests like ex-Prime Minister John Howard, and Sir Richard Branson (on more than one occasion, including private events at his behest), then-President of Singapore Sellapan Ramanathan, plus numerous events for the Chinese and Indonesian governments. As well, he is in high demand as a corporate entertainer, including having performed at multiple events for self-made man Lindsay Fox.
Matt has worked with and/or as support act for Guy Sebastian, KISS, John Foreman, Collective Soul, Ricki-Lee, America, Mark Seymour, UB40, Daryl Braithwaite, BoneyM, Jon Stevens, Creed, Tina Arena, James Brown, INXS, and Human Nature to name but a few.
In addition, the booking agency he co-founded handles bookings for some of Melbourne's highest profile venues, including Crown Entertainment Complex, and he has been, for many years, the singing voice of 3AW's weekend football coverage, the highest rating AFL footy show on the air.
