from his bio

"He's a pro, he can just do *anything*." - Vanessa Carlton on MTV "Duets"
yup, he´s the guy from MTV duets, the one that made into the final 4. anyways, I'd heard about him from an Elly K (http://www.myspace.com/ellyk) fan
His songs are quite good, go check them out:

I am digging his music. He's really good. "Something Else" is my favorite song at the moment.
-
:D
^I guess at this moment my fav is "blink"
-
"He's a pro, he can just do *anything*."
I'm sure he can cook, wash a car, impregnate..., but his singing isn't really convincing. Maybe that explains the *'s.

^did you watch the mtv duet?
:?
I thought he was good!
anyway, I 'm listening to "Something Else" right now :D
-
Oh yeah, I posted a comment on his MySpace that there was a thread here, & he said he heard about it! Hopefully he'll stop by, & say hi. That would rock, he's awesome.
-
Hey guys,
Matt here. Like Laura said, I heard about this thread and have been meaning to stop by. Thanks so much for the support you guys! "Duets" was awesome and a lot of fun... glad you guys remember me from it. Although I think I acted like a pretty big dork on that show, to be honest with you, lol :roll:
BTW, Rogier... I just wanted to set the record straight: I can't cook. Like, barely even toast. And as far as I know, I haven't impregnated anyone yet. But hey, I wash a mean car! Five bucks if you wanna bring yours by :wink:
See ya,
Matt

Hey guys, thanks for the warm welcome :D
Aw, that's sweet of you Laura. Thanks so much for the support and happy early birthday to you! BTW, I noticed you're from SoCal... I always have shows around Hollywood, and I'd love it if you could come out sometime. It would be awesome to meet you 8) I've actually played several shows with Elly K before, and we're planning to do some others in the near future. Awesome to see you guys have a topic devoted to her!
Unfortunately Scotty, I never got the chance to shop with Vanessa :( But just so you guys know, I retired the infamous vest for good. Maybe I should sell it on eBay! I could use the extra quarter, lol.

woo i like the video your in, and the song on your myspace. are you really playing the song?

Can you play any other Vanessa song?

superstar!

Hmm. Nice work, Scotty. Although I must say, that's not really my shade. I was thinking perhaps something a bit darker. LOL. :roll:
Anyway, I'll be glad to sign the CD for you Katia! Can't help you on the "kiss it with lipstick" part though... sorry bout that one.
As far as "Duets" goes, I think Anastacia did alright. I was told going in that they were actually looking for a girl, so I was pretty shocked to even make the final four! I chose "Pretty Baby" because at the time it was my favorite Vanessa song and it wasn't quite as well known as some of the others. I thought it would be cool to try something different :)
I was actually working as an intern at Interscope Records when "Harmonium" came out, so there was a lot of promotional stuff going on at the time. I was over in the music video department and helped ship out a bunch of copies of the "White Houses" music video to different places... it was pretty cool!
Oh, and I'm glad you liked the "100 Years" video, Scotty! I had a total blast filming that, and getting to hang out with John Ondrasik and everyone. To answer your question, I was really playing the song on the piano; everyone in the cast were pro piano players in real life. I still keep in touch with some of them 'cause they were all so awesome 8)
BTW, if anyone hasn't seen that video and wants to, it's on my website.
See ya,
Matt
-
they wanted a girl, thats shockin' 8O
-
OMG That's you? You're a celebrity!!!!!!!!1111111
*acts all schoolgirly*
Err...
Yeah, I didn't get to watch duets, but you've definately been around.
You'll be famous someday. :wink:

Yeah I'd love to come see your show! I noticed your playing in Hollywood on the 14th (2 days after my b-day) but I'll be at Wango Tango then darn, so maybe I can go to the one in June in San Diego. That would be fun! I just gotta try & talk someone into going with me lol.
-
Do you still have that vest?? :razz:
-
Do you still have that vest?? :razz:
i'm wearing it dufus!
no he said something about putting it on ebay
-
Hey Katia! I sent your autographed CD out this morning. You'll get it in a couple days... keep me posted about when it gets there, ok? :D
No worries Laura - if I had the choice between "Wango Tango" and my show, I'm sure I'd choose "Wango Tango," hands down :wink: If you get down to San Diego, that'd definitely be awesome... I'll probably have another LA show in June or July as well. What part of SoCal do you live in?
Oh, and to answer your question Gingernut, I still have the vest. It's currently gathering dust in the corner of my closet. And I was only joking about putting it up on eBay. Although I admit, a quarter would come close to covering the actual price of that vest - I got it at a thrift store. So it was someone else's bad fashion decision before mine, lol.

Actually I'd rather go to ur show haha. I live in the Temecula/Murrieta area... dunno if your familiar with that. And I asked like two of my friends if they wanted to go with me to your June show but I couldn't talk them into it cuz they had no idea who you were. And I even tried talking my mom into it but she wouldn't take me either, darnit. I do drive, I just haven't driven that far yet so that sucks. You should come down here & do a show lol j/k.
-
there are some new songs at myspace :D
-
It looks like I'm finally gonna get to see Matthew Jordan after waiting for like a freakin' year! haha. I have two friends going, it's gonna be fun.
It's on Feb.25th.
-
bump.
-
Yay i'm seeing/hopefully meeting Matt tomorrow. :D
-
The concert was amazing & it was awesome cuz the place was so small. We were sitting probably like 5 ft. away from him lol. But yeah he was awesome & I was surprised he recognized me from MySpace. My friends really liked him & he also gave me a cd with some songs from MySpace with "Close" on there as well, he was so sweet :D
I only took a couple pics. of the show cuz it was so intimate & I would've felt weird taking anymore, especially since we were upfront but they came out okay.

those are great pictures!it sounds like you had a great time!

so, i went to see this girl i know play last night at the mint... and i recogonized this person.....and realized it was this guy... from duets... i told him i was a nessaholic... and knew he was too...
we chatted for a moment, and he said how he was playing too...but unfortunately i couldn't stay....i had previous plans that couldnt be broken... but he seems like an uber nice guy... and any nessaholic is good in my book.... btw ... he mentioned how laura had come to one of his shows... and how sweet she was... i agreed.
xoxo
-
Aww that's awesome Steph. Dang I'm gonna have to see him again haha, I would love to see him with a live band. I dunno if I can talk my friends into seeing him again, but if he comes up i'll mention the show in SD. You should definitely check out one of his upcoming shows tho if you can.
-
he mentioned to me he was coming to the open mic next thursday at highland grounds... which is where i go for my open mic... if you came to that ... (in hollywood - thursday nights...) you would also get to see me perform... but i understand if you wouldnt want to see me :(
xoxo
-
Aww are you kidding? I would love to see you perform. It's just kind of hard to make it to certain shows since I can't drive by myself to Hollywood & San Diego & stuff, especially at night...still getting used to driving on freeways. I usually go with my friends to concerts so yeah.
But if your ever a little closer, i'd love to see you perform. :)
-
laura - where do you live? Orange County?
-
About a little over an hour from the OC. In Temecula. We saw Matt at the neighborhood cup in Aliso Viejo.
-
i just wondered... how far from hollywood?
because i just booked my first gig... at highland grounds - i would love if you could come. like a whole set of me!!!
xoxo
-
Like an hour & a half, maybe 2 hours depending on traffic & stuff.

-
Good piano, but I'm not sure how I feel about the vocals. Actually I imagine lots of male figure skating choreographed to it (Listening to "Eventually")... Sorry!!!
-
I like his music, he acted like a total dork on MTV Duets
-
haha aww. i think he has a good sense of humor, you can tell he does when hes performing too. he adds in a few jokes here & there.
btw, if any of you remember lani (used to be a nessaholic), she was there too. we missed each other though cuz i was leaving when she got there lol
-
vote for Matt in all the categories if you feel like it, but he really wants to beat Hanson in the indie section towards the bottom for "indie album of the year". So please vote, you can vote up to a little over 20 times. Thanks :)
