Matt Watts - Full Biography
I have played regularly for Noel Richards and Sue Rinaldi and have also been in event bands that have supported guest artists including Matt Redman, Tim Hughes, Darlene Zschech, Wayne Drain, Daniel Beddingfield, Miquel Brown and Nicki Rogers. I have also toured with Dave Reidy from Hillsongs Sydney and regularly serve Paul Ianuzelli in worship leading at the Cornerstone Church in Esher.
Several of the events that I have played (bass) at over the years have been recorded for live event albums. In addition to this and some secular recordings, I also played bass on Ian Ottaway's album (City of Refuge), which was engineered and produced by Caroline Bonnet.
I have played at Christian events such as Spring Harvest and Easter People all over the UK and Europe and in 1997 had the privilege to take part in the "Champion of the World" event at Wembley Stadium.
I have also been involved with many projects outside Christian circles including studio work, live deps, and various bands (functions etc) - some of which I have also musically directed.
Well, I think that's enough of the biog... bottom line is that I consider it a blessing and a privilege to have done all the above - be it playing at a large event or serving the local church worship group. Whilst I appreciate that true worship is a lifestyle, I find that playing musical worship seems to snap the former into focus... and I look forward to many more years of it!
