Last year Novalima went back into the studio to explore new sounds from Peru and produced Ch’usay which will be released this Friday, celebrating Novalima’s 15th Anniversary. Chicago –born Matt LeGrand has explored the wide variety of musical inspirations that the windy city had to offer, learning guitar, drums, and even dabbling with songwriting. He also experimented with different bands and duos in college that finally inspired him to find a sound all his own. Legendary artists manager Bryant Reid discovered LeGrand in 2015 and is confident he’s found another potentially explosive new artist, saying , "In all of my years in the recorded music business, I must say that Matt LeGrand is one of the hardest working young artists that I've encountered. “ With an ever growing fan-base who call themselves The Legrand Girls.
