Artist History Matt Moliti was born on March 24th, 1983. He began playing the guitar at the age of 13, then influenced more by 70s progressive bands such as Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, and King Crimson. From there he moved on to Rush and later, Dream Theater, which is where he finally discovered his love for shred guitar and crushing progressive metal. As he grew as a guitarist and musician, his tastes expanded into a more neoclassical realm of playing, discovering bands such as Symphony X and Blind Guardian. His favorite guitarists are Michael Romeo, Jason Becker, and Yngwie Malmsteen and his favorite bands are Symphony X, Blind Guardian, Adagio, Angra, and older Dream Theater.
