Matthew Mayfield
Matthew Mayfield (born April 9, 1983 in Birmingham) is a singer, guitarist, songwriter, and former frontman for Moses Mayfield. His musical career began with a football injury that left him laid up with a guitar and an endlessly-rewound cassette of Guns 'N Roses' "Use Your Illusion".
He formed his first group with Stewart Vann while a student at Birmingham-Southern College. He dropped out to pursue rock stardom and found some success with the group, but the rigors of touring led to a break up in 2008.
Mayfield began performing as a solo singer-songwriter before piecing together a new band, dubbed the Blue Cut Robbery for a 2010 release. The group includes Vann and former Moses Mayfield drummer Wil Drake. Two of his singles were used in episodes of "Grey's Anatomy".
