    Matt Fishel - music artist, producer, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist

    An award winning independent music artist, singer, songwriter, multi instrumentalist, music producer and videographer, this London based creative grew up in Nottingham UK. Self taught on piano and guitar, he was to discover a love for fully crafting his own material from conception to production and everything in between. Solidifying his skills at Paul McCartney’s Performing Arts Institute LIPA in Liverpool, saw him write two musicals and record his first solo album before arriving in London to pursue long held musical dreams. As an ever evolving queer artist with inspirational pop icons surcharging his self expression, the big city in the early naughties proved a resistant force in his honest lyrics and themes gaining any commercial appeal. And so, shunning the corporate cats with a firm belief that art comes from a place of truth, he did it his way, retaining creative control by launching his own record label - Young Lust Records, learning the music biz from the ground up. Having carved a niche with his own brand of queer themed rock music and videos, exciting collaborations and projects soon followed, along with a strong online audience and international fan base garnering millions of YouTube views and viral videos, capturing the supportive eye of much loved English actor, broadcaster, writer, comedian and director Stephen Fry. Combining elements of rock, punk, alternative, pop and visual storytelling with a theatrical flair, his songs are candid in dealing with the joys, pains and experiences of gay identity. As an LGBTQ+ advocate and activist his expressions are unashamedly positive and celebratory with humorous yet acerbic commentary on institutional homophobia within the entertainment industry. Quirky, heart-warming and political. Fifteen years and four studio albums deep, his work has involved an international roster of film directors, illustrators and visual artists to bring his stories to life with an award winning debut album Not Thinking Straight and follow up Cover Boy co-produced with Mark Crew of Bastille and Rag n Bone Man credits, and has had his work featured in Gay Times, Attitude and Out Magazines. Alongside further nods from actor Tom Hiddleston, LGBtQ+ activist Peter Tatchell & legendary songwriter and producer Jim Steinman. With his latest album Tales of Queer Suburbia set for release in early 2025, this is someone making waves in the wonderful world of queer.
