Coming from a musical heritage, Matthew Burgher plays both piano and drums, having produced music in a variety of styles ranging from electronic new wave to heavy metal and classical-influenced film orchestration. He has performed concerts with numerous talented artists, and his early heavy metal band received well-deserved recognition in music publications, including Metal Maniacs, and was awarded “Best Atlanta Metal Band” in 1999.
Matthew reveals some of his most intimate musical work under the name Haddorff, composing piano, electronic, and orchestra-based instrumental music. His work in live audio solutions is both heartwarming and passionate, and his signature can be found in award-winning films, commercials, and television spots. Charitable causes are also a priority for Matthew, as he provides musical entertainment at community events, churches, and special care facilities, along with music license contributions for global aid, world peace, and environmental awareness initiatives.
'The South Downs' was the debut album release for Haddorff in 2005. Haddorff's music can also be found in over 70 music compilations internationally.
