Biography
From major recording studios such as Capitol Records and Universal Studios in Los Angeles, to Carnegie Hall in New York, and several world tours in between, multi-talented Matt McGuire enjoys a successful career in the music profession that spans over 30 years.
Originally from Northern California, Matt moved to Los Angeles at the age of 19 to attend the Grove School Of Music.
After a few weeks in Los Angeles, Matt started working in the local top-40 club scene at night, attending school during the day, and playing on various recording sessions and rehearsal bands. It was during that time that he auditioned for Engelbert Humperdinck which began a five year stint both as his pianist and eventually Music Director/Arranger-touring around the world as well as making television appearances on the shows "Joan Rivers", "Pat Sajack" , "Jerry Lewis", etc. During that time, Matt also worked as a session pianist for "Murder, She Wrote", "Walker, Texas Ranger", "Merv Griffin", etc., as well as arranged and co-produced an album for Al Martino.
While busy working on various projects, Matt was approached to play with up-and-coming bassist Kyle Eastwood, son of Clint Eastwood. A Jazz quartet was formed and they soon found themselves featured at local hot spots "The Baked Potato" and "Jack's", etc., as well as prominent appearances at notable festivals such as "The Monterey Jazz Festival". It wasn't long before the group recorded under the Sony/Columbia label of which Matt wrote five of the CD's ten cuts. Among the various club performances the group was featured in, the most notable was the world famous Carnegie Hall in New York. Matt was determined to leave the road and club life and plant his roots in Los Angeles where he could focus his attention on writing, producing, and arranging music. That gave birth his company, MusicWerks Productions, Inc. He has since written music for news stations across the country including all the major affiliates- ABC, NBC, and CBS. He also got involved composing for the various animated shows "Extreme Dinosaurs", "Pocket Dragon Adventures", "Sabrina", "Sonic X", "Winx Club", "G.I Joe", "Shaman King", "Chaotic", "Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's", etc. He also scored the movies "Titanic, The Legend Goes On", "Monster Mash", "Dennis The Menace - Cruise Control", as well as writing songs for many of the shows.
Recently Matt co-scored, with Kyle Eeastwood, the award-winning film directed by Susan Morgan-Cooper "Mulberry Child" and currently writes for 4K Media's "YuGiOh! Zexa"l which airs on the CW Network on Saturday Mornings. He has been blessed with a beautiful wife, Nina - his much better half - and two lovely daughters, Danielle and Olivia, and is thankful to God for every single day with them.
