“Matt started playing piano the moment he was tall enough to reach the keys, and never stopped. He’s shared a stage with Gavin Degraw, Kelly Rowland, and Debbie Duncan, and currently performs in Jazz and Classical ensembles around the Twin Cities.
As a WordPress developer, he got his start building band sites for fellow musicians, and eventually worked his way up to fortune 500 companies, including Old Dutch and Dairy Queen.
Pianu was the result of combining those two career paths into one.

His current project is an online word-game literacy project called Wordshake.
