Hello there and welcome to my site! I’m Matt “Melodious” Coe and I love to write music. Feel free to take a listen and hopefully you’ll find something you like.

Early on I played piano, Suzuki method I think it was. It’s hard to remember the exactness of it all, except that I mostly learned by trying to copy whatever my teacher played. Then it was trumpet, but that was always intimidating because the guy who played 1^st chair in Jazz band was an absolute BEAST on that horn. So I settled for 2^nd chair.

Around 19, my brother fooled me into trying the guitar, because he was already in love with it. So I gave in, and I think it’s still by far my most favorite instrument to play, although I can play many others. I played in some bands for a few years, and then decided to get a composition degree and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Cornish College of the Arts in 2001.

After moving to LA on September 11, 2001, I began selling pro audio gear, and happened to end up installing a Pro Tools system at Coolio’s house. After I finished, he offered me a beer, and we hopped into his deafening Hummer and blazed a fat one as we cruised around for a bit. His advice to me: “Marry a rich woman.” I didn’t take his advice.

Teaching consumed a grip on my time and I felt it was necessary for me to play and create more music. So, I opened Melodious Coe’s Music in 2005. We had a recording studio, teaching facilities, rock bands, and all kinds of crazy projects involving good times and amazing music.

Now I work out of my home studio in West LA on all kinds of different musical projects, and in my spare time I like to play a little golf, ride my bike around, and cook some tasty food.
