Hi everyone. I’m Matt Benson. I moved to New York last August from Knoxville,Tennessee. I’m majoring in Vocal Jazz Performance at City College and I love it so far! This school and city has given me so many new opportunities and experiences I wouldn’t have got back home. For example, I’m working as an assistant to an independent singer/songwriter in the Harlem area and gaining tons of music industry experience! I’m very ambitious, but I try to take life slowly and enjoy things as they come (Which is hard to do in this environment). I’m really excited to work with the people in this class and learn more about the groups that make up New York City!
