Matthew founded Youth Arts New Zealand to empower youth to creatively express themselves.  We talk about his life and what led him to start this, the value of collaboration across creative arts, the interaction between an audience and a performer, what music means to him, storytelling through live shows and music and why bringing different types of arts together is so important.  I really enjoyed talking with Matthew and helping him set up his charitable trust is one of the reasons I most enjoy being a lawyer to help him fulfilling his dream which can then be accessed and empower others too.
