Biography

As a professional jazz musician for over 15 years, Matt Perko has developed into a sensitive and creative drummer. His photography has brought his passion to visual form through stunning nature and landscape photography, striking urban street scenes, powerful and dynamic portraits, and thought-provoking still lifes.

He spent his teenaged years drumming with Cleveland's best jazz musicians, and has since performed throughout the United States, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and Austria. At the age of 21, he underwent a heart transplant operation at the Cleveland Clinic. This life-changing experience made him realize life's rhythms needed to be captured in every way possible.

Matt lives with his wife Marge in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
