the secret weapon behind vocal edm, the glue between dj/producer and vocalist.

With over half a billion streams and several hundred releases under his belt, Canadian producer and singer-songwriter Matthew Steeper is behind more of the who’s who of melodic EDM than you can keep up with. From producing and writing some of the biggest songs for Slander (Love is Gone Acoustic), Tritonal (Long Way Home), Seven Lions (Horizon), Gareth Emery (Saving Light),  Armin Van Buuren and more to producing Splice’s most successful vocal sample packs (KARRA vocal sample packs) Steeper has become one of the most pivotal forces in dance music you’ve never heard of.

You’ll find him in the studio with the industry’s biggest singer-songwriters (Dylan Matthew, RØRY, KARRA, JT Roach, Kaleena Zanders, Eric Lumiere, Monika Santucci, Fiora, Linney and more) and  DJing the biggest major international festivals on the weekends as the unnamed second half of HALIENE’s live act.

Growing up in eastern Europe, Matt cut his teeth in electronic music at 90s street parties and underground euro discos. But he wouldn’t pursue music as a career until a near-death experience in Peru had him ditch his med school plans to finally develop his natural talents at Berklee College of Music.

As co-founder with HALIENE of boutique production and publishing company, Golden Thread Music, Matt has his hand in the development of new artists as well, such as AMIDY and Monika Santucci.
