Matt Cornell

Singing bass player, Matt Cornell, has performed professionally since 16 across Australia and the world with Baby Animals, Richard Clapton, Angry Anderson, Rose Tattoo, Shannon Noll, Adam Brand, and as half of Cornell & Carr. Cornell embraced country at the urging of Adam Brand, has received five Golden Guitar nominations, and, with the release of new solo works, the next chapter is a potent one for the Gold Coast artist. Manager Ian “Dicko” Dickson encouraged Cornell to look to his rock roots with his new direction. The son of performers Cheryl Assange and former Delltone Wayne Cornell, his uncle, George Assange (aka Vic Sabrino), was the first Australian to make a rock ‘n’ roll recording in 1955 and has a rich cultural history comprising Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, Asian and Pacific Islander.
