Matthew Oh is fueled by a love of storytelling through music and media, a product of his diverse background in freelance content creation, military family advocacy, and percussion performance.

Matthew made his film debut as a second grader with a massively mediocre indie stop-motion short film, which premiered roughly around the same time as his first drum set lessons. His early experiences in digital media, whether for school projects, extracurricular events, or volunteer activities, developed a passion for media creativity and freelance work.

Having moved 10 times as a military child, Matthew greatly values community and service, specifically through music and media. As a high schooler, Matthew channeled his experiences to co-found Bloom, a global community for military teens that is now a program of the National Military Family Association. In Nashville, he currently serves as communications director for Chamber Music City, a performing arts nonprofit, and manages social media for the Community Arts Collective, an educational organization creating transformative musical experiences for local K-12 students.

Matthew is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Musical Arts degree at Vanderbilt University, studying percussion under Ji Hye Jung and W. Lee Vinson, with a secondary major in Cinema and Media Arts. His studies at the Blair School of Music have afforded him opportunities to perform in South Korea and Colombia, in addition to summer festival studies at the Scotia Festival of Music Young Artist Program in Nova Scotia, National Symphony Orchestra Summer Music Institute in Washington, D.C., and Sandbox Percussion Seminar in New York City. At Blair, he also serves as social media coordinator for the Vanderbilt Percussion Group, graphic designer for the Music in the Real World Colloquium, and assistant for the Vanderbilt Youth Orchestras program, while also in high demand as a freelance digital media creator for guest artist, faculty, and student recitals.
