Born on Long Island, New York in 1987, Matt Zeiss was raised by parents who played a variety of music, Doo-Wop, Rock n’ Roll, R&B, Hard Rock, 80's Rock, Bubble Gum, and just about everything else. However, the single artist that made the greatest impact during Zeiss’ formative years was Elvis Presley. Practicing Elvis’ moves, voice and stylings from nearly the day he could walk and talk, Zeiss dedicated his life to fine-tuning an amazing impression of the King, all the while continuing to educate himself with a wide variety of music outside of Rock n’ Roll. In high school, a self described “brutally honest” music instructor attended a single audition in which Matt performed his version of Presley’s “It’s Over” and immediately insisted the teenager be placed in his class. After spending only a year in chorus and a position in his school‘s most elite musical group, “The Odyssey”, Matt quickly gained confidence and an imposing stage presence. He became increasingly well-received and earned further auditions which led to popular local performances, almost always culminating in standing ovations. A continual hit with audiences, Matt was invited to appear several times as an opening act at the Broadway Comedy Club in Manhattan. In 2005, Matt partnered with Alcazar XXX, former member of the bands Medication, Day in the Life, and Idol X. Zeiss and Alcazar collaborated on a song written by Zeiss’ father entitled “I Am the Boat”. Originally meant to be an homage to his father’s song, “I Am the Boat” evolved into something new entirely and sparked a renewed passion for songwriting. Anxious to begin producing more music, Matt became involved with New York’s BMP Studios in 2007 where he continued writing and recording his own music. In addition to being featured in several other Long Island DJ's tracks, Matt is currently working with Red Red Studio on his first album entitled Reflectionz. The title is based on the ideas and influences which went into the creation of the album – reflecting life’s experiences. An all-around music lover, Matt recognizes the importance of what was done musically over 50 years ago and feels sure he can both match and improve upon it, eventually creating his own brand of Rock n’ Roll perfect for the 21st century.
