About

I’m Matthew Castillo born a military brat in Tacoma Washington and moved to Huntsville Alabama shortly after. Childhood was spent in Alabama, Texas, Mississippi, Illinois, and Iowa where country and blues rock seeped into my bones. Married a beautiful soul who loves and supports me with my guitar playing, song writing, and singing even with all the practice I do living in a no-bedroom cabin. Must be love! Taking care of 3 dogs, 2 chickens and my mom’s parents out in the sticks in Graham WA. I was working at a local Lumber Kiln in 2020 when I was injured by a forklift and some big wet heavy 30x30 beams and tore ligaments and tendons in right wrist which caused a pause to the music but I’m back in the swing of the song and ready to shine.
