Matthew David Wheeler

Matthew David Wheeler was born in Fresno, California. He is an Award-Winning Composer, Orchestrator, and Educator. He holds three Master Degrees and studied with Dr. Ben Boone and Dr. Kenneth Froelich at CSU, Fresno. Matthew was born with a severe stutter, an issue he still deals with today, but music and movies are what allowed him to find his voice. He realized that he could mimic any character and their lines without stuttering, allowing him to finally communicate fluently. Unknown to him, the music within these films would light a passion in his soul that no one could have predicted. It wasn’t until a friend’s birthday party years later that he discovered the benefits of playing piano. Sitting behind a grand piano, he began to play the biggest and greatest hits of the time, unaware of the crowd forming around him. Realizing the impact that music can have on a person is what rocketed his study of music, focusing on music composition and film scoring. His reputation as a first-rate composer has allowed him to compose pieces for Disney Hall and Carnegie Hall. In 2020, he formed his studio, Narrow Path Studios where he composes for the stage, screen, and concert hall. For more information about Matthew David Wheeler, please visit narrowpathstudios.com.
