Be it a beautiful, soothing sacred hymn, a dramatic, lovely classical piece, a fun exciting number, a romantic melody or a majestic inspirational song, Matthew Marshall adds his own special touch, exuberance and styling.
At age six, he sat down at the family piano and began playing the simple melody of a church hymn. When his parents realized his ability to play “by ear”, they enrolled him in piano lessons. Through the years, he struggled with the concept of reading and understanding music and quit music lessons. However in his teenage years, after inspired by a famous piano performer and impressed by the Lord, he felt the calling to have a piano performance ministry. From that point, he began studying music on his own and through a piano professor in college, gaining new insight and skill.
Marshall weaves together entertainment, ministry and passion when he plays for audiences. He is always envisioning new ideas and projects, constantly venturing forward, yet appreciating the past and present. In his concerts and recording, one can see his love for the piano, his heartbeat to minister to people’s hearts and minds, and his desire to share the Gospel of salvation.
“I have been given a musical gift from Almighty God and I have a heartbeat to give it back to Him and my listeners. My greatest thrill is bringing audiences inspiration, serenity and enjoyment, while giving praise to Christ when I play. Truly good music is a respite from the sorrows and hurts of a cruel and harsh world." |
