"Melody" marks the debut original release by crooner Matt Mardini. This heartfelt song is a collaboration with the talented Canadian singer-songwriter Valérie Carpentier. Valérie wrote the lyrics and composed the music, while Matt later refined the lyrics, adding his personal touch. The exquisite musical arrangements and instrumentation were crafted by the gifted Fadi Jiji, with backing vocals recorded by Valérie herself.

In his inaugural album 'HIBA,' Matt pays homage to the enchanting music of his adopted homeland, presenting captivating reinterpretations of iconic compositions by legendary Canadian songwriters and vocalists. The album's title, 'HIBA,' is derived from Matt's wife's name, signifying 'gift from God' in Arabic.

On Nov 27, 2019, Matt and his band enchanted Montreal's Rialto Theatre with a night of musical magic, featuring 'HIBA' songs and timeless international hits. This release includes 9 tracks, distinct from 'HIBA,' offering a diverse musical experience.

In 2017, Matt Mardini met Rob Heaney at Studio Fast Forward in Montreal. Rob, the sound engineer for the project, mixed the final work. A deep friendship grew, and Matt learned significantly from Rob. This album marks Matt's first Canadian record, dedicated in memory of the great man, Rob.
