Matt is a young musician born and bred in Pietermaritzburg – but already deeply embedded in local music. It has always been a dream of his to turn his passion for music into his career. He began playing guitar towards the end of his junior school years when he watched his father playing, and was eager to learn. He began his music career by partaking in musical productions at his school, Maritzburg College. He moved on to being one of the acts on the line-ups to open for the likes of Matthew Mole, Prime Circle, Desmond and the Tutus, Just Jinjer, Majozi and Plush. He describes his music as Indie Folk with a slight Rock undertone, with a few of his influences being Mumford and Sons, Matthew Mole and John Mayer.

– Daniël Rossouw on lead, rhythm guitar. Latin infused and blended with other flavours, his colours add to Pan Latino’s unique sound.
– Chris Melling – AKA Baviaan, percussion extraordinaire, bringing his tasteful yet visually exciting Ethno/Latino beats and sounds, pulsing the heartbeat of Pan Latino.
