Great interview, Peter -- thank you. Matt is too humble to say it, but he really saved the group. They didn't just need a new bass, they needed a new family member and they needed to heal. Matt is truly a blessing.
Yep! They did talk about perhaps doing it with orchestras or something, but they were all pretty burned out at that point and I don't think they would continue pushing for too long without getting the infusion of Matts excitement and energy.
I have often thought the same thing. Matt seemed to infuse them with love and energy. It takes someone special to be able to successfully merge into an established, well-known group. Hearing the lengthy process they went through to vet Matt you know they didn’t just grab the first person they found. His commitment to making the smooth transition into the group by learning all their songs in advance is so indicative of how much he wanted to succeed. No two singers are alike so no one could ever replace Avi. Finding Matt, with all his experience and his personality, was a godsend for them. Ben’s contacts in the acapella music world really allowed them to find just the right person. PTX is one of my favorite groups so I’m excited they are still going strong after 13 years.
I love him so much! I remember being so worried after Avi left but as soon as Matt came in I was hooked. Such an infectious smile and a joyful spirit. He fitted the spirit of the group immediately and was a breath of fresh air. He did an amazing job and I'm so proud of how far he has come because those were not easy shoes to fill. Hard to believe he has been in the group for 6 years already! Blessings onto you Matty 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Fantastic interview! Matt has the best energy, he just exudes so much joy. I didn’t realize I was smiling all through this until the end when I realized my smile muscles were feeling it, 😂. I wish I could have seen that call-back audition as a fly on the wall, to see the expressions when the rest of the band were first exposed to that joy he brings and realized what his energy did when it was combined with theirs. There is no mistaking that thrill of happiness when you’re making music together and it becomes something uniquely different than Just the sum of the parts. All 5 of them are monster singers with solo juice, but Pentatonix is a very specific and miraculous thing unto itself.
I like that Matt has been excited about each job he’s had, and that it hasn’t hardened him. Going through the ups and downs in the music industry must be taxing on the mind, let alone the physical wear and tear. This was a great interview. He’s so engaging! I hope you are able to connect in VA.
Thanks! This was an amazing interview! I really love Matt's humility. I am so happy that out of all the amazing bass vocalists Pentatonix could have chosen to replace Avi, who was and is and will always be absolutely phenomenal, they chose Matt. He truly is a gift from God. I hope one day Matt and The Bass Gang will collaborate with each other. It would be truly extraordinary!
Yes, yes,yes, this was a great video! I can hear the bass in both MATT'S A PETER' S VOICE. It would be nice to hear the two of you sing a song together. 😊😊😊
The passing of the torch: Avi giving nuggets of wisdom; Matt appreciating and not sharing them, like, it was just between them. Decent, decent bassists
I need to find some new adjectives to use, but wow.. amazing. Once again, a guy I would call "famous" within his sphere turns out to be an absolute sweetheart! You'd think guys like that would develop an attitude but nope. Bass singers seem to be a special breed of nice guy. And, as always, Peter, you've made someone comfortable and chatty. Your interviews just get better and better!!
Matt is so lovely and humble!! His smile is infectious!! I am PUMPED to hear some solo music. At times his voice reminds me of Nat King Cole so to have some solo music to sink into will be epic!! Great interview! 🩷
WE LOVE MATT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU TOO, PETER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for doing this interview, it was awesome! 😊
I noticed that as well! He seems excited and interested in music in general so doesn't surprise me. If he has the time and they find a project (and if he's allowed to) I wouldn't be surprised to see a collaboration!
Loved your interview with Matte so nice hearing from him and his life experience. My husband and I are so excited that we will be seeing them live in December!
I always love Matts mindset! His talent is great, but honestly, his mindset probably one of the biggest gifts to being able to join the group. I cannot imagine someone could successfully step in to that role unless they were as mentally strong and flexible as him. Plus he's basically impossible to dislike, haha! Excited to see what they do next. Most of the things in the interview I already knew but it was nice to get some more in depth thoughts on much of it! Would love if this led to some kind of collaboration in the future!
I’ve never considered Matt as Avi’s replacement, even tho technically he is. What Matt is great at is being MATT!!! One of the things that endears him to me is the ease with which he fit in the “family”. I was really glad to hear that he got to spend some time with Avi…that is so special!!! Peter, thank you so very much for this interview!!! BTW… I think The Bass Gang is spectacular!!!
Whoaaaaa! Peter this was great! I have been a HUGE fan of Matt since his Day 1 with Pentatonix. He has so much going for him, and shares so much with others. He’s a blessing….strong faith, a phenomenal singer, wonderful family, and a great friend to have. I’m excited to be going to a PTX concert in December. Thank you for this interview!!
@@barbk2324 I always watch for the announcement that the VIP tix are going on sale & I pretty much dial the phone the first minute they are available. It does cost a bit more, but omg it is sooo worth it!!! Plus you get in a few hours early & get to ask them questions & have your picture made with them (in small groups). You get a signed lyric sheet & other special merch. But no matter. where you sitt you know you're gonna love the show! I hope you enjoy yours too!!! 💜
Matt has such a sunny personality. Always a beautiful smile and quick to laugh. He had big shoes to fill but instead of doing that he made his own place and he has been marvelous! Congratulations to his wife on the bar exam. Doesn’t matter if she passed the exam or not. She rocks for making it to the exam. 🥰 Great interview! Looking forward to hearing what Matt is personally working on. He has such talent but also a gift. God has certainly blessed him and God blesses us through Matt! ✝️🙏💕
Ah, Deke Sharon and the House Jacks. I was a House Jacks groupie in the Bay Area in the mid-late 1990s. I watched the Sing Off just because Deke consulted. Was so excited to hear Matt’s connection to everything! What a fantastic addition to PTX. They picked the right guy for sure.
I am so excited to hear what Matt has coming out. He is such a sweet human. So kind and a genuine. I was also so happy to hear about the passing of the torch.
I truly enjoyed this interview. Your subtle and informed direction of the flow of the discussion and Matt's joyful temperament and ability to succinctly word his responses melded into something that felt so natural. That did not feel like 40 minutes at all! Now wouldn't it be cool if Matt made an appearance on a bass gang song (you know, with all that free time he has).
I agree with all of this! I noticed his was the shortest interview and with a clear "I have to round this up and send you to your meeting" deadline. So glad he managed to squeeze it in!
When I saw this was posted, I clicked so fast your head would spin!!! I LOVE THIS!!! Huge Pentaholic here since The Sing-Off (I'm always in the 1st few rows at their concerts & I have all their merch, etc.) & I haven't seen an interview like this with Matt, so I was thrilled to hear all of his background. Thanks so much for this! It made my day! And if Matt reads this - You're awesome & this 63 yr old loves you like my own child!!! God bless & prayers for your happiness!! And you & Kevin are my favorites - you are so far above "adequate" you're a zillion miles above it!💜
Wow what an amazing interview opportunity!! Great questions that you asked him, super cool to hear about the audition process Matt went through! Thanks for this!
Fab interview Peter, Matt comes across as such a lovely, genuine guy. He had really big shoes to fill after Avi, but he is phenomenal. He has a fantastic wide range and he has such a lovely warm voice and beautiful vibrato.
Thank you for interviewing Matt! He is a great, positive guy, and very encouraging! Great set of questions, Peter. I have enjoyed how each interview takes its own path.
I love that you threw the "not a bass" part in there. That drives me so crazy with Matt's critics, especially. Like, these same people who claim Matt is a baritone because he doesn't hit exactly the same way Avi did don't even blink at Mitch and Kevin both being totally different tenors. What is that, even? Little confused about the answer to if all of PTX was at his callback. You asked if all five were there and he said "yeah" but then expanded with "the four members and Ben Bram" 🤔 Either way, the whole "Avi hand picked Matt" thing isn't true... it is good to know that Avi did actually kind of pass the torch, though.
YOOO let's goooo, i'm hella excited for this. Matt has been a huge inspiration to me to get to where I am today. Also really happy to see that you can keep getting more success in your podcast!
Great interrview. Matt comes across so well and very humble. It was a double win, for both Pentatonix and him when they chose him. Loved Avi, but Matt stands on his own and fit the group perfectly.
Awesome interview👌👌love everything about Matt, his amazing voice, his talents, his hearty laughter, his never depleting energy ,his positive attitude, his humility❤❤❤❤ best of luck to Sarrah for her bar (exam). It would be amazing if Scott and Kirstin direct Ptx music vdos with inputs from rest of the members, we will love that👍👍 love Matt's respect for Avi👍👍
This was a great interview! You did great interviewing this amazing artist! I love Matt! He excels at being Matt and I so appreciate Matt! Works out well! Everything flowed very smoothly! All the best to you, Peter!
That was an extraordinary interview, Peter. Thanks so very, very much for taking your time, asking great questions and giving him free rein to fully answer them…so often I’ve wasted my time listening to interviews that wound up just feeding the creator’s own personal agenda. I really enjoy your reactions, and now I will make sure to listen to your music and interviews as well.
thank you Peter for this interview. when Matt talked about feeling insecure about not having the range of most male singers on the radio and gave his advice, it really resonates with me. I've been there too and I needed to hear that.
Thank you very much for this interesting, informative and fun interview with Matt. He is such an amazingly talented, kind, focused, well adjusted, joyful, respectful, grateful, relatable human. It's great that he's loved singing and all forms of music since he was a small child and that he has gotten to do it as a profession for so many years. I'm happy for him and proud of him too. His wife did pass the bar so congrats to Sarah.
A lovely interview. Thank you! What Matt said near the end about self-critque made me think of Renn's "Hi, Renn". Self doubt is so much a part of the human condition. Can't imagine how much bigger an alligator it is to wrestle with as a performer.
Thanks for this excellent interview, Peter. I'm not on anythin but youtube, so it's great to hear off-stage Matt and get to know his history. It was especially nice to hear Matt talk about his meeting with Avi. They both seem like such good people, I'm not surprised at all that Avi was so gracious and helpful to Matt as he stepped into those giant shoes. Thanks also to you, Matt, for being so generous to Avi in your description of that meeting. Matt is the perfect fit for Pentatonix in so many ways. I hope he continues to find success and surprises in his career.
I adore both people on this interview! I am so happy to see people giving Matt his due appreciation and Peter is an incredible analysist! I learn so much by watching him break it all down. I truly enjoyed this interview. My youngest son made it to All State here in Arkansas and I have grown to appreciate your skill set more and more everyday. Thanks guys.
There, straight out of Matt's mouth. Now can people stop spreading the rumor that Avi picked him for the group. He wasnt even there when matt sang for ptx. When peter asked if he sang for all 5 of them, Matt said yes but then clarified it was the 4 of them, plus Ben Bram. Avi may have later given Matt advice, but he wasn't part of them choosing him. Too many fans keep spreading this rumor to reactors.
Matt has done an excellent job fitting into PTX. I’m glad he excelled at being Matt rather than trying to be Avi.
Very well said!
Great interview, Peter -- thank you. Matt is too humble to say it, but he really saved the group. They didn't just need a new bass, they needed a new family member and they needed to heal. Matt is truly a blessing.
Yep! They did talk about perhaps doing it with orchestras or something, but they were all pretty burned out at that point and I don't think they would continue pushing for too long without getting the infusion of Matts excitement and energy.
That's spot-on. When you see them interact at live shows - partucularly Matt and Kevin - you know they are a genuine tight family. Love 'em all!
I have often thought the same thing. Matt seemed to infuse them with love and energy. It takes someone special to be able to successfully merge into an established, well-known group. Hearing the lengthy process they went through to vet Matt you know they didn’t just grab the first person they found. His commitment to making the smooth transition into the group by learning all their songs in advance is so indicative of how much he wanted to succeed.

Ben’s contacts in the acapella music world really allowed them to find just the right person. PTX is one of my favorite groups so I’m excited they are still going strong after 13 years.
Great job, he's such a happy, joyful, real person who has been a delightful addition to Pentatonix. He's always smiling!
I love him so much! I remember being so worried after Avi left but as soon as Matt came in I was hooked. Such an infectious smile and a joyful spirit. He fitted the spirit of the group immediately and was a breath of fresh air. He did an amazing job and I'm so proud of how far he has come because those were not easy shoes to fill. Hard to believe he has been in the group for 6 years already! Blessings onto you Matty 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Matt is a talent and a joy as a human! Pentaholics love you Matt ❤❤
That was an absolute pleasure to watch and listen. Matt is clearly a beautiful human.
He most certainly is
I really enjoy Matt as a member of PTX. He is talented and funny. I like how he supports the other group members and joins in their silliness.
This just shows me how humble all of them are. They never act too big for anyone. I love all of them in Pentatonix.
I really loved Matt in The Sound of Silence... he brought a passion to the song... that made me he believed the lyrics
Fantastic interview! Matt has the best energy, he just exudes so much joy. I didn’t realize I was smiling all through this until the end when I realized my smile muscles were feeling it, 😂.

🌟👉Love Matt. He is so humble and joyful and DEFINITELY a perfect fit for PENTATONIX.
Thanks!

He truly is a gift from God. I hope one day Matt and The Bass Gang will collaborate with each other. It would be truly extraordinary!
Thanks so much, Isaac! Agreed that Matt is wonderful -- I will for sure try to get him on a TBG track someday
Yes, yes,yes, this was a great video! I can hear the bass in both MATT'S A PETER' S VOICE. It would be nice to hear the two of you sing a song together. 😊😊😊
Filling shoes and still being you. Perfect and appreciated by all. Love seeing your drums in the background!
He's the man!
Mr drummerman can sing. I have seen a few examples.
So happy for him, and hoping for great things in his future!
Thank you for this interview. I love Matt! He is an awesome performer and a ray of sunshine whenever I see him in videos.
The passing of the torch: Avi giving nuggets of wisdom; Matt appreciating and not sharing them, like, it was just between them. Decent, decent bassists
I know, it warmed my heart that it happened. I love and support them both!❤
Us old singers who don't sing for a living need to hear that advice too. Wonderful and informative interview! Thank you both!!!
I love Matt! He’s so talented and such a joy! 😊
I need to find some new adjectives to use, but wow.. amazing. Once again, a guy I would call "famous" within his sphere turns out to be an absolute sweetheart!

WE LOVE MATT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU TOO, PETER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for doing this interview, it was awesome! 😊
Love Matt!! He is so grounded and humble!! His voice is gorgeous but his personality is golden!!
Love your channel!! ❤
Matt appears to be a bundle of joy. My appreciation of grew ten fold seeing them live in concert. Great interview
Matt sounded deeply intrigued by the Bass Gang, maybe there will be a collaboration in the future.
I noticed that as well! He seems excited and interested in music in general so doesn't surprise me. If he has the time and they find a project (and if he's allowed to) I wouldn't be surprised to see a collaboration!
Wow, Matt is such a great singer and seems to be a wonderful person. Great interview Peter!
So glad to hear Matt and his infectious joy. Love his story and wisdom.... can't wait to see what is next!

Ditto!!! I'm going to the Greenville show - 2nd row. Which show are you going to?
Uncasville CT, at the Mohegan Sun Arena on Dec 7th. I can’t wait! Enjoy your concert 😊
I just noticed you said 2nd row! Wow! I’m in one of the side stands. But very close to the stage. I’ve seen them twice before….years and years ago.

Thanks so much for watching!
Matt I literally only discovered PTX this year. You guys are my favorite to listen to. I listen to PTX every day. Thank you for the beautiful music ❤
This is such a great interview! Probably, my favorite interview Matt has ever given!

Great interview. It’s nice to hear them as regular people with regular stories. Thank you for sharing
Such an amazing guy🔥
Such a great interview! What a humble guy with a phenomenal voice and career. Very insightful!
Great interview! Matt, I'll see you, from a couple hundred feet away, in December here in Fort Worth!!!!
Those Bs are B-ing 🤣 very well described, that arrangement is wild
Awesome interview. I Love Matt and his wonderful down to earth personality. Thank you for giving him a fantastic interview.
THE MATT SALEE? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
So excited for this one!!💙🩵💙🩵
This was great. Thanks for this.
This was very much a true treat to watch. What an amazing interview!
Great interrview. Matt comes across so well and very humble. It was a double win, for both Pentatonix and him when they chose him. Loved Avi, but Matt stands on his own and fit the group perfectly.
Awesome interview👌👌love everything about Matt, his amazing voice, his talents, his hearty laughter, his never depleting energy ,his positive attitude, his humility❤❤❤❤ best of luck to Sarrah for her bar (exam).

This is gonna be sick! Thanks for doing interviews with such amazing people.
It truly is my pleasure :]
Crazy how you got basses from the three biggest a capella groups in the world.
For real!
That was an extraordinary interview, Peter. Thanks so very, very much for taking your time, asking great questions and giving him free rein to fully answer them…so often I’ve wasted my time listening to interviews that wound up just feeding the creator’s own personal agenda.
I really enjoy your reactions, and now I will make sure to listen to your music and interviews as well.
Wonderful interview...thanks!
thank you Peter for this interview. when Matt talked about feeling insecure about not having the range of most male singers on the radio and gave his advice, it really resonates with me. I've been there too and I needed to hear that.
Enjoyed seeing this side of Matt ~ Love that he and Avi met and shared ~He has fit in well with PTX!
Thank you very much for this interesting, informative and fun interview with Matt. He is such an amazingly talented, kind, focused, well adjusted, joyful, respectful, grateful, relatable human. It's great that he's loved singing and all forms of music since he was a small child and that he has gotten to do it as a profession for so many years. I'm happy for him and proud of him too.

Thanks! Great interview with Matt!
Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed it :]
Really enjoyed this, Thanks Peter.
He's such a sweet guy.. And so are YOU! 😘
Loved this!!
I saw Pentatonix this Summer in Tampa Florida. Amazing
Thanks Peter. Loved it ❤
Peter!!! Oh Man!!a this was so much fun! 😊
Glad you enjoyed!
Btw, the guy he replaced in The House Jacks was Elliott Robinson.
Love this ❤
great interview

A really great interview, Matt is lovely and very gracious about AVI, what a lovely smile 🫶🏼
Great interview with Matt, you asked some very informative questions and Matt was gracious and down to earth.
Matt , we Pentaholics love you so much. I hope you know that. 😊
Thank you beautiful people ❤❤
Loved this
There, straight out of Matt's mouth. Now can people stop spreading the rumor that Avi picked him for the group. He wasnt even there when matt sang for ptx.

Great interview, and great interview skills and format. You kept it to the point and didn't go off on long tangents. Really enjoyed it :)
Great voices.
I use to listen to This charismatic voice.
Ich liebe alles an Matt❤
What an amazing interview
