Live Music for Private Events & Corporate Gatherings | North County San Diego

Matthew Callans is a classically trained pianist and composer based in Encinitas, California. With a deep foundation in jazz, blues, hip hop, and rock & roll, Matthew has spent more than five years performing original, fully improvised music for private events and corporate gatherings across North County San Diego.

Based in Encinitas and serving all of North County San Diego, Matthew offers two distinct experiences depending on the scale and energy of your event. As a solo performer, he brings a mellow, intimate keyboard presence perfectly suited to cocktail hours, corporate receptions, and private dinners — think warm harmonics, understated sophistication, and the quiet elegance of a 1960s jazz speakeasy. For larger gatherings and private parties that call for something more, he performs with COYO, his four-piece band, delivering a full-band sound rooted in psychedelic jazz, blues, and rock.

Every performance is original and curated to match the specific vibe of your event. No covers. No cookie-cutter sets. Just music that belongs to the night.
