Matt Williams was born 1970 in Adelaide and began playing guitar at the age of 10. Concentrating only finger style acoustic guitar until graduating from high school, he then moved on to electric guitar and started learning and imitating the styles of Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Nuno Bettencourt and Frank Gambale. In his early 20's Matt toured with popular original band Fire 'n' Ice around Australia and the United States which helped develop a strong on stage persona as well as honing his already virtuosic soloing technique. Now living back in Adelaide Matt is an incredibly in demand session guitarist and engineer/producer who looks after the increasing client base at Fat Trax Recording Studios owned and operated by Unitopia's own David Grice. Matt feels that Unitopia is the perfect vehicle for both the playing and song writing sides of his personality. The intricate passages interwoven with strong harmonic, rhythmic and melodic content, keep the ever nimble fingers and mind of Matt Williams occupied to an extent never realised until now. His guitar playing, coupled with an astoundingly strong singing voice and irreverent sense of humour, makes Matt an invaluable member of Unitopia. He also plays around Adelaide with a Joe Satriani tribute show that has to be seen and heard to be believed and local outfit Fighter Pilot! To quote one of his favourite t-shirts, he really is a 'Rock 'n 'Roll Mother%$&#$@!!!
