If you’ve been tracking the trajectory of emerging talents in the electronic music domain, Matt Barri’s name is a name you need to know. Over the past year, he meticulously constructed and presented his unique electro-emo style, culminating in his debut EP, The Only Way Out Is Up. The decision to release the EP incrementally allowed listeners to engage with and dissect his evolving sound progressively. Upon experiencing the full ensemble, the coherence and depth of his work become evident. While the music holds intrigue, the true narrative revolves around Matt’s artistic journey, adaptability, and fervor.
Digging a bit into his backstory, Matt’s musical journey began at just four. Imagine a young Matt with a violin, probably not even half his size. It didn’t stop there, though. Guitar, drums, keyboards, and diving deep into music theory followed. With music in his blood (shoutout to his grandfather, Steve Barri, a big name in the 60s and 70s), Matt was destined for greatness. His decision to blend the high-energy dance music he loved with his emo-inspired lyrics is something the electronic world needs more of. It’s like adding a twist of lime to your favorite drink – refreshing and zesty.
On stage, Matt’s been rubbing shoulders with big names like Steve Aoki and Lil Jon, spinning decks and dropping releases. Off stage, he’s been turning heads, getting nods from top electronic blogs and even dabbling in sound design, the man stays busy.
All in all, Matt Barri’s more than just his latest EP. He’s an artist on a remarkable journey, with a story that keeps getting more interesting. And if this year is any indication, Matt’s future is looking brilliantly bright.
