Matt Bohli is an American photographer, musician, and artist based in Paris, France.

Before moving to Paris in 2019, Matt lived in Nashville, Tennessee, for ten years, where he worked as a freelance drummer. From 2013 to 2015, Matt toured as the drummer for Hank Williams III and “the damn band”, playing rock venues, punk bars, and honky tonks across America. After his time with Hank Williams III, Matt returned to Nashville’s lower Broadway honky tonk scene, where he honed his chops for several years, including two years as the drummer for the legendary Don Kelley Band at Robert’s Western World. In 2016, Matt performed as a guest drum set artist with the Utah Symphony Orchestra.

Originally from Westminster, Maryland, Matt received his Bachelor of Music degree from Boston University where he studied orchestral percussion and timpani for four years with Tim Genis, Principal Timpanist of The Boston Symphony Orchestra. During his junior year at university, he was appointed to a one-year position as Principal Percussionist of The Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra for their 2006-2007 season.

In addition to his work in music, Matt is also a photographer. Matt’s debut exhibition was in 2022, a solo show at Xippas Gallery in Geneva, Switzerland. Additionally, Matt has also showed his photographs with Xippas Gallery at Art Geneve in 2022 and 2023, and was included in their group show in the 2024 edition of À l’Abordage, in Lausanne, Switzerland.

In the summer of 2025, while visiting family back home in America, Matt booked a last minute studio session at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, to record a handful of original songs. This fall, Matt released his debut single, “Tennessee”, which was self-produced and solo-penned by Matt. Listen to his new single here.
