About 3 years ago I had the pleasure of meeting one of the most talented people I know. In February 2011 I had the honor of introducing him to my Tumblr following for his amazing "There Goes My Baby" guitar cover (the original post can be viewed here). Since then, Matt Cassanova, who most often goes by Ghetto Guitar, has continued to create a buzz amongst the music community. Stemming from West Haven, CT, Matt developed a love for the guitar starting in highschool, and since then has taken strides to perfect his craft. Matt exudes a strong passion for music and a keen ear for sound, all of which can be seen and felt in each song.
Currently, Matt has been finishing up his debut instrumental album, all songs of which are created and edited by him. Taking a new spin on music by incorporating his love for the guitar and his natural ear for instruments and great sounds, Matt has begun to set a foundation on which he intends to build upon within the music industry. TRILL ROCK, his debut project is set to release this summer. Below is one of my favorite covers by Matt Cassanova, "Crew Love" originally performed by Drake ft. The-Weeknd. All sounds in this video, including the acoustic guitar backtracks, are performed by Matt Cassanova.
Matt's talent, much like his lively personality, is undeniable. I wish him the best in all of his future projects. More videos can be viewed on his personal YouTube page at youtube.com/MCharles203, and upcoming information about his project release can be found on the URBN MEMOIRS blog page and his personal Twitter account @Ghetto_Guitar.
