About Matt Griffo
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
A first musical memory is my father playing the drums in the basement of our house in Rochester, NY when I was probably around 2 years old. I really loved hearing the thump of the kick drum, I would sit or lay out on the floor in front of the kick.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Ben Folds Five, Ben Folds Five
Tom Lehrer, Songs by Tom Lehrer
Various Artists, Essential Mob Hits (Essential Mob Hits)
I really love the Beatles "Love" album. It's so well mixed and the songs flow together so exceptionally well. Another is Ben Folds Five's first album, it has so much raw energy combined with musical talent. 3rd is between mob hits, Bach, & Tom Lehrer

“Oh Louise”
I wrote this song sitting backstage from the speakeasy the Drifter in Chicago. There was a bad date happening & the guy wasn't listening to the woman. It made me think about if the woman were a ghost telling him to get out, he still wouldn't get it.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
One of the most memorable moments was touring around Europe and teaching musical improvisation to comedy theaters and being so joyful that I could do that.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
I want to learn more Chopin pieces. I love Chopin nocturnes so much. So overall, I want to get better at sight reading sheet music, I'm great at improvising on piano but sight reading I was never amazing at. Perhaps release serious music.
