Much of his professional life has been spent in the Classical Music industry as a Tenor, both as a soloist, and also working with many of the world’s leading ensembles, orchestras and choirs.

At the age of twelve he came to London to continue his education as a Boarder at Mill Hill in North London before going to study Marine Biology at Portsmouth. Matthew was also able to study coral regrowth and sea turtle populations on a number of expeditions abroad. Where else could one hold a sea turtle securely to radar tag it?

After University, Matthew started his professional career working in one of the most  successful departments within Harrods’ of London. There he developed his customer service skills building up his own portfolio of exclusive clients and breaking all records within the history of the department.
