Matthew Frederick Monro (born 21 February 1964), is the son of the English singer Matt Monro and is a singer in his own right, often performing his father's work.
In 1977, when Matt Monro junior was 13, he was invited by his father Matt Monro to join him on stage to perform a duet .
In 1986, a year after his father’s death, a tribute was organised at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London in which Monro junior performed to over 2000 people . He then appeared on the UK television programme, Opportunity Knocks and this established him as having his own individual talent . He followed this by doing three years on the performing “circuit”.
In 1989/90 he did a British tour with Cannon and Ball and Hinge and Bracket and from this developed his one-man-show, in which he would tour with a 9-piece band and perform his own version of his father’s songs.
When he signed with EMI in 1995 modern technology enabled him to sing with his father again. The album, 'Matt Sings Monro', is a collection of many of the best loved Matt Monro songs, rearranged as duets, making it possible for Monro junior and his famous father to sing together once more.
He sang to a 1200 strong sell-out engagement at the Dublin National Concert Hall in December 1995 and has played in the Philippines for the former First Lady, Imelda Marcos.
2005 saw him touring England with a new show “ The Legend Lives On” which was a year in the making and took him to over 40 concert venues across England. The shows were such a success that the experience was repeated in 2006. In the last few years he has been working with his late father’s musical director, Colin Keyes.
In 2009 he signed a 10 year recording contract with One Media Publishing.
He has made his home in Spain and spends the majority of his time touring.
