Violinist

London

After working as a classical violinist I learned to improvise and used my instrument in many types of modern music such as Pop, Rock, Electro or RnB. I now write, sing, and play pop songs, and will be happy to perform for your event in the style of your choice!

David M, 2 years ago

Matei surpassed expectations. He is an excellent musician with beautiful tones from his violin, but more than that, he is a wonderful improviser. Matei accompanied us in the studio where we are putting the final touches to an album, and he played in a range of 3 or 4 different genres for us. Great guy, and we all wish him every success in his musical career.

"I recently played with Matei at three venues in London. I can recommend him as a fine violinist who is highly versatile in many styles and genres of music."

Matei is a very impressive performer. He is clearly very skilled in his instrument and songwriting, and he is able to improvise with other artists on-the-spot. His presence is most welcome at all of our open mic nights.
