Matt Coakley
Songwriter • Producer • Arranger • Music Educator
Philadelphia-based musician devoted to the proliferation of beautiful sounds through composition, production, teaching, and more.
Background
After earning my B.S. in Recording Arts from Drexel University, I began a career in music composition, production, and education. I spent six years in Chicago, working as a recording engineer, private school teacher, and freelancer, composing and arranging for two developing musicals while running lessons and recording sessions from my home studio. It’s been a fulfilling and rewarding journey.
My Music
I’ve been performing, composing, recording and arranging for bands since 2009.
In 2023, I released my first single as a solo artist, and I’ve released a few EPs/singles over the past couple years.
My debut album is coming in 2026.
Services
Recording / mixing
Every song is a gift. I can help bring your vision to life. I treat each project I work on as an opportunity to color the world with magic.
Private lessons
I offer one-on-one classes for piano, guitar, recording arts, and songwriting, remotely or in-person in Philadelphia.
Arranging & Composition
I work across many genres such as pop, rock, jazz, musical theater, soul, folk, and punk.
“I wish I had started my piano lessons with Matt sooner, he is a great teacher and very patient with me.”
