Called “an artist to watch” by Canadian Music magazine, Matthew has long demonstrated a unique talent for transforming pop singles into jazz numbers. Matthew fell in love with jazz and blues in high school when a chamber choir teacher exposed her to the genres. Three years later, while still in high school, she won the BC Interior Female Jazz Vocalist of the Year Award. Ten years ago, Matthew packed up her life in Vancouver in order to relocate to Toronto and continue pursuing her dream. Since then, she has been featured in Entertainment Tonight Canada, played to sold-out venues nationwide, garnered radio play in countries as diverse as the Netherlands and Japan, and performed at the Burlington Sound of Music Festival on the OLG Stage.
