Matt Hicks

Matt Hicks

Matt Hicks has balanced singer songwriting alongside working full time as an intensive care nurse. Having redefined what it is to be a successful songwriter over the years, he feels that 22 years as a nurse in the Royal Navy and now the NHS has contributed to the quality of his output.

Starting out in his teens, he has enjoy various successes in his music including playing at the Cambridge Folk Festival and recognition in the Brits Songwriting Competition.

About 15 years ago he burnt out and put his guitar down swearing he’d never pick it up again. He kept to it for some time until he picked up a ukulele wondering how the hell anyone thought they could get a decent sound out of it. So began a love hate relationship that fooled him back into writing and ultimately performing again.

Matt is a well know name in the UK ukulele world having played many of the major Uke festivals; but refuses now to be pinned down by one label or instrument. He will almost always write on a Uke in the belief that if a song works on a Uke it’s a good song, but he is as comfortable on acoustic guitar and uses both in his live shows.

His music weaves in and out of genres from country, to blues to jazz. Counting Leon Redbone, Bob Dylan, Frank Stokes and Woody Guthrie as heroes, his style reflects his eclectic taste
