Sometime in mid-2011, a young boy picked up his first ukulele, quickly becoming fascinated with the instrument. 12 years later and Matthew Quilliam became the first person to use the ukulele for an entire music degree, graduating in 2023 with first class honours.
Thanks to his life-long connection and expertise with the instrument, he has developed a wide skill set and a popular range of shows, whilst showing no signs of slowing down.
Versatility is in abundance when it comes to Matthew’s capabilities. As well as ukulele, Matthew is highly proficient at bass (guitar and upright), jazz banjo and acoustic guitar. With his boundless energy and his trademark smile, Matthew is sure to leave any audience wanting more.
Based in southern UK, his travels have brought him to appear at and work with Parkdean Resorts, Grand Northern, Bracklesham, Isle of Wight, Yeovil and Shrewkfest Ukulele Festivals, Chichester Jazz Club, Concorde Club Eastleigh, Princess Hall Aldershot, Oktoberfest Swindon, Didcot Railway Centre, Weyfest, Abbey Road Studios & internationally in Italy, France, Germany and Poland.
On top of that, he has composed for a handful of albums and films, educational and examined ukulele material for the London College of Music and the London Ukulele Project, as well as written live pit band music for Chichester Festival Theatre.
