Matt “Steady” Ricetti

Session Drummer • Singer-Songwriter • Educator

Music was my life before I even started to talk. I come from a family of musicians, and by the time I was old enough to start playing seriously, I had already gone from guitar to bass to drums, which became my primary instrument.

My first real song came out of a high school senior project, written during COVID. It got a lot of attention that I didn’t expect (The Eagle Tribune, NBC Boston). Berklee had already been my dream for years, and Reed (my first drum teacher) pointed me to Bob Gullotti, who I had studied under for a couple years before Berklee. I didn’t go in planning to study songwriting, but later I added the songwriting major I’ve been writing ever since.

I’m not a huge fan of labels in music but if you had to put my music in a genre, I would have to say alt-folk rock. Most of my songs are just an extension of myself and I’ve been told my voice sounds like a warm blanket and a warm cup of tea which is perfect because that’s exactly the sound I’m going for. I aim to make each concert inclusive for every one, love seeing new faces, love seeing old faces. Always there to make sure everyone has a good time. Rock on! 🤘
