About the concert

"His love for music is not only felt from the first song, it is contagious." - Mercury

If you like the music of Ed Sheeran, Passenger and Neil Finn, you will also appreciate Mathew James White. The native New Zealander and meanwhile Berlin-based musician is often compared with the aforementioned sizes of the music business due to his repertoire full of catchy chill and sometimes rocky melodies.

His music can best be described as "Kiwi, dream, folk". He is on a constant European tour and has built up a strong and ever-increasing fan base over the years - often playing in front of a sold-out house. Mathew has played at the Blue Balls Festival 2017 in Lucerne, alongside stars such as Davis Gray, Peter Doherty & Jose Gonzalez.

His fourth and most recent studio album “I’m Thinking of You” was released in September 2017. It is a deeply personal album, largely influenced by the loss of his child. The creative process of this album was a central point on his path of grief, in particular the titles 'Looking Down At The Ocean' & 'Where Did You Go''. "I'm Thinking of You" also covers topics such as recognizing one's strength ("You Could Be It"), anticipating a new life ("Ride of Your Life") & seeing those we love but who live far, far away from us ("I'm Thinking of You").

In addition to "I'm Thinking of You", White has released three other studio albums: "That's Just Me" in 2004, Acoustic Guitars & Ooh La La's in 2007 & 528Hz in 2011, as well as a live album "Songs From My Living Room" in 2014.

His side project "Mpath" is a three-piece band he founded with German drummer Phillip Renz and English hit producer Martyn Phillips. The band has released three studio albums since 2006.
