Matt Lammin

Matt Lammin: soul man

Matt Lammin

A fine example of the great variety of music being produced in Liverpool. This month BBC Introducing profiles Matt Lammin, a Liverpool based pop/soul singer influenced by the likes of Stevie Wonder, James Brown and Carole King.

Matt Lammin is a singer/songwriter from Merseyside. He is currently working on a solo album of original songs written over the last few years and planning a number of intimate gigs.

Matt has had an eclectic mix of experiences as a singer, and is currently a member of Laputa, the Sense Of Sound A Cappella Choir, JADEgroove and the GroovyWonderBand.

"The artistry and expression in the vocals of these singers is really communicative and beautiful."

Matt is influenced by many artists, but in particular: Annie Lennox, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Sinead O’Connor and Morrissey. This is a diverse selection of artists, but the one thing that connects them all, in his opinion, is: "soul – not in the stylistic sense, but in depth of expression."

Gaining momentum

2006 was a great year for Matt in terms of progress with all of the musical ensembles he is a part of. With Laputa, there was a change of line-up, which resulted in the production of a number of new songs and some great gigs.

On the other hand, JADEgroove returned to the scene after breaking up in 2002, and after a successful comeback gig at the Cavern, they are now working on a recording project.

The year was extremely successful for Sense of Sound, culminating in them reaching the Grand Final of the Radio 3 Choir of the Year.
