Aaron Matthew

My name's Aaron Matthew Jones, and I'm originally from St. Louis, MO. I was in several bands back at home that achieved mostly local success, but consistently was confronted with problems, both personal and band-oriented. I joined the Air Force back in 2004, and the same music that I was so passionate about was forced on the back burner for my career, responsibilities, and a relocation to Oklahoma City. After two years of dabbling, I realized how unhappy I was without the music in my life, and I started writing once again. The inspiration hit me hard, and I wrote three songs within a two week period. While my main focus used to be beauty through simplicity, I decided to step outside of my comfort zone and attempt to create a more mature, technically challenging sound, along with using experimental tunings for added diversity. While I still occasionally write with simplicity, my primary goal is to write lyrics that speak to the hearts of whomever is listening. Music is the one universal language, and I try to speak to everyone in some way or another.
