Matt is the lead vocalist of Fracture. Having joined the band in early 2011, his power vocals have shaped the direction the band has taken since. Once upon a time a classically-trained choirboy, life's journey took him from angelic youngster to the rocker he is today. A vocal tone that can range from melodic southern rock through to a gravely growl.
