Matvei Sigalov

Having opened for Stevie Wonder at the 2013 Presidential Inaugural Gala, Matvei Sigalov has been a gift to the United States ever since his musical career brought him here in 2000.

Sigalov left his home country of Russia where he was a trained violinist by age six. In his teens, he started playing the guitar after experiencing rock music. It was Sigalov’s discovery of jazz in his twenties that led him to move to the U.S.
