Matthew L. Fisher
- Composer
- Music Department
Matthew Fisher was born and raised in the Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA.
Matthew was not introduced to piano at the age of 4, he never took
piano lessons growing up, and he never really had an interest in music
until he was about 16 years old.
At age 16, Matthew wanted to be in a band so bad that he started tinkering on the piano at his house. He soon found that he could play songs he heard by ear. Matthew was excited and started imitating any and every song he heard.
During Matthew's first year in college, his mom overheard a piano song he was playing. She told him she really loved what he was playing. This was the very first time he heard someone say that they really enjoyed what he was playing. It was at that point Matthew knew he wanted to make a piano album and start taking his music to the next level.
Over the course of the following year Matthew worked on making his own solo piano music almost every day. He also played keyboard for a instrumental band named Mancub. Mancub broke up several months after Matthew joined, which gave Matthew more time to focus on releasing his solo piano album. On December 28, 2009 Matthew Fisher's solo piano album "Home Is Ahead... The World Behind", which was inspired by a Christian viewpoint on life, was released independently.
In March 2011 Johnny Pease, a band member Matthew met in Mancub, asked Matthew to compose the score for a student short film by Full Sail University named "Field of Honor". Although Matthew was unfamiliar with composing for film he agreed to compose the score and finished the whole score in one week!
