Hailing from San Diego, CA, Matt Thelen has been a top-call Saxophone player in the DFW metroplex for over a decade. Matt moved to Texas to earn his degree from the world-renowned Jazz Studies program at the University of North Texas and has since had the privilege of playing across the U.S with local recording artists as well as the country's top party bands.
With his extensive experience in the entertainment industry, branching out as a solo entertainer was the next inevitable step in his promising evolution as an artist. Matt's musicality and professionalism are the perfect compliments to any event - from weddings to corporate events.
Matt has been playing the saxophone since the age of 9. With 25 years of dedicated study, practice and an advanced music degree, he is able to play in ANY musical situation - from studio recording sessions to national arena tours. When his extensive experience is combined with his showmanship (stemming from his musical theater and competitive dance backgrounds), Matt's ability to entertain and engage an audience is simply unrivaled.
Not only does he play multiple instruments, but he sings, he raps, and he is a DJ too! With an exhaustive attention to detail, he consistently delivers fresh, exciting, and polished performances to all of his clients with no exceptions. When you need a consummate professional with decades of experience, a tireless work ethic, and an easy-to-work-with personality, Matt is simply the best choice!
