Matthew’s top 3 required skills to do his role:
1) People skills / networking / schmoozing.
2) Practising discipline and working on your craft.
3) Getting good at managing your own self-care.
Signed to label Albert’s Favourites, Matthew Gordon - who releases music as Pie Eye Collective - is an emerging British music talent and star in the making. His debut album, Salvation, was released mid-September 2021 and off the back of that some two months later, bagged his first solo support gig at the world renowned Jazz Cafe, London, UK.
Whilst the music industry and tabloid media love to play on the ‘tortured genius’ trope and put specific musicians in a symbolic headlock for merely existing (Amy Winehouse has entered the chat), behind Matthew’s enigmatic presence, lies a passionate and introspective musician whose intuitive observations and sardonic delivery led to us sharing a very candid and enjoyable chat for this month’s podcast.
Matthew’s top 3 recommendations to read / watch / observe are:
-
Book: The Dictionary (yes my man really said thee mutha-funkin dictionary…you better step your vocabulary and diction game up people!)
-
TV: Chernobyl (Miniseries and one to definitely watch)
-
Emotion: Be mindful of the thoughts in your own head…both positive and negative (they are extremely powerful!)
