“You can tell right away when Matt starts playing that he is the real thing.” – James Taylor

“Matt has an incredible gift.” – Brian McKnight

"Matt Cusson is honestly one of the most talented musicians I've ever met. When I heard him live for the first time, I was blown away not only by how well he sang and played, but how easy he makes it seem. I became an instant fan. There are a lot of artists out there, but few even come close to the amount of talent he has. He combines Jazz, R&B, Pop like nobody I know. He's so good he makes you want to go home and practice your scales. If you haven't had a chance to hear Matt, you're missing out on a world-class artist." - Javier Colon, Universal
Records and winner of NBC’s “The Voice”
