Exploring the lands of pop,rock, and folk music, Matthew de Zoete combines rhythmic inventiveness with an astonishing gift for melody to discover a territory entirely his own. With a distinct voice and writing style, the 26 year-old from Hamilton, Ontario, will soon release his second album of intelligent, hook-laden songs. While his 2006 debut 'Across the Sea' examined themes of distance and separation, his new record 'Bottom of the World' explores the universal foundations of one person's life: love, family, the past, the future, and the inevitable truth of human mortality.
