The guitars are his paintbrushes & the studio is his canvas
Matias Leong, has been an active musician in Macau since 1996, he then made a big decision in 2007, he gave up everything on hands & went to LA music academic & studied with some modern days jazz masters, such as the guitar extraordinary, Frank Gambale.
2 years later, Matias went back to Macau, performing regularly in Hong Kong & Macau, he also started a successful music teaching career, many people came to him for his knowledgeable but straight to the point teaching style.
In 2021, Matias went back to his love, craving his own instrumental composition in his humble home studio. In this project, A New Morning, besides playing all the guitar parts, he wrote, arranged & mixed all the tracks. With Hong Kong bassist Jackiz Tsang , local keyboardist Evonnie Lei , Eric Chan & Sammi Kuong on guest vocals, Matias has crafted a series of musical poems that reflects his passion & visions.
