Portrait of Matthew Smedal.

03 / About

“I grew up listening to Bach organ fugues on cassette tape, Judy Garland on vinyl, and Queen on my Walkman.”

I opted for a degree in music over a degree in computer science and never looked back. Since that time, I’ve built a life in the theatre, conducting other people’s stories and writing a few of my own.
