Who is Mattias Devriendt?
Mattias Devriendt started playing the piano at age nine and is based in Ghent. Since 2004, he has played in the band Monserey, and in 2022, he launched his solo career as a pianist. No Mozart, Beethoven, or Schubert—just his own compositions. His key influences include Radiohead, Philip Glass, Nicolas Jaar, The Album Leaf, Nils Frahm, Keith Jarrett, and Jóhann Jóhannsson. "My mission is to create moments of peace and reflection through music." In 2024, he completed a series of five EPs under the BRG Benelux label: Simplicity, Contention, Equanimity, Opposition, and Addition. His debut album As I Lay Down was released on vinyl. In 2025, a live album and concert video, The Wintercircus Concert, followed. In October 2023, he was named Gent’s Citizen of the Month by the city of Ghent. He is also Editor-in-Chief of Still magazine.
