Growing up in Johannesburg, South African and now based in the Australian city of Perth, Matt Zambon is an indie pop artist who’s been composing his own original material and performing live since he was just twelve years old. After moving to Australia, he went on to study contemporary composition at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne where he developed his skillset by writing music for films, animation, dance and musical theatre.
Making his studio music introduction in 2017, he released his debut single “Blue & Yellow”, followed up by sophomore track “Faces” the next year. Drawing on his varied background and experience, he’s delivered a thrilling sonic evolution that sees him continuously venture into new musical territory with each release.
Commenting on his recent experiences, he shares, “It’s a funny experience having spent my 20s in a foreign country and I think it’s something a lot of young people can relate to. It’s an age at which I believe we do some significant growing up and become who we truly are as people. A lot of who I am today has been shaped by the values and beliefs of a society to which I still don’t fully belong. It’s something we see all over the world; we celebrate our global citizenship, but are still afraid to welcome our neighbours with open arms.”
Bringing us his latest work, he shares his new single titled “Immi”, a heartfelt song that marks the next chapter of his sound. Featuring his velvety vocal work and a guitar-based arrangement to spin indie rock inflections, on “Immi” Matt Zambon offers a stunning new song that showcases his songwriting talent and musicianship prowess.
Fully embracing his adopted home country and reflecting his experience uprooting himself and moving to a new place, he’s threaded his new recording with the very nature of Australia.
Incorporating sound samples of quintessential elements from the country such as gum tree leaves, 50 cent coins and ice cold ‘Zooper Doopers’, he adds charming sentiments to his new single that shows the scope of his creativity on a dazzling and timeless song.
