About Matt Beilis:
New Yorker Matt Beilis was born with his distinct voice. Some would say it's unconventional, which would fit the personality of this singer/songwriter/pianist. Matt traded in his Ivy League education along with a lucrative finance career--for a gig in a piano store, betting that his artistic talents would propel him beyond the comfort that his academic achievements all but guaranteed.
Matt's wide-ranging appeal as a singer and performer garnered him support slots for a mixtape of artists including Smokey Robinson, REO Speedwagon, Secondhand Serenade, Javier Colon and even legendary Wu-tang Clan member Inspectah Deck. The video for his single, Dial-Tone, caught the attention of Ryan Seacrest and his team, who decided to premier the song exclusively on Seacrest's website RyanSeacrest.com. This led to Matt's music video for his single, "Perfect For Me," which was called one of "the most important things on the internet" by People Magazine.
By choosing his dream over a career on Wall Street, Matt already walked away from a sure thing. Believing 100% in his own talent is the only bet he could make. And he's all in.
