In 2007 Matt was listed as "Taking Jazz into the Future" by Downbeat Magazine.〔http://www.zoominfo.com/#!search/profile/person?personId=817412984&targetid=profile〕 In 2010 the Huffington Post declared "Matt Von Roderick Makes Jazz Dangerous Again". Matt was born into a musical family in the small town of Lyndonville, Vermont. Matt's father, Alvin Shulman, is a violinist and first generation American born in New York City, of Russian and Polish descent. Matt's mother, born Elizabeth von Stackelberg in Munich, Germany, is of German, Irish and British descent. She emigrated to America after World War II, and is a piano teacher. Matt is Jewish, and has cited his Bar Mitzvah as being a formative musical experience.〔http://www.mattvonroderick.com〕 In 2007, Matt released his first commercial album, ''So It Goes,'' under the name Matt Shulman, through the independent label Jaggo records. With the album came comparisons to "a postmillennial Chet Baker" from ''The New York Times'', which also cited him as among the significant "New Voices from Jazz's Emerging Generation." Matt is noted for his progressive development of multiphonics, in which he "uses his voice as a muted horn in solo and duet with the trumpet..." (''All About Jazz''). Matt made his Carnegie Hall debut as a featured guest soloist with the New York Pops Orchestra, and has appeared as both a soloist and composer at Lincoln Center and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. A graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Matt went on to receive his Master's of Music from New York University, where he was granted the Alberto Vilar Global Fellowship. While on fellowship at New York University, Matt was classically trained by Juilliard trumpet pedagogue, Mark Gould (Principal Emeritus, Metropolitan Opera).〔http://www.mattvonroderick.com〕 Matt is a former member of the New York Trumpet Ensemble, as led by Gould.

Matt's spirit of innovation is also found in his development of the Shulman System,〔 〕 a device he patented〔http://www.wipo.int/pctdb/en/wo.jsp?wo=2002005259&IA=US2001004096&DISPLAY=STATUS〕 for promoting a more efficient and musical approach to the trumpet, which creates balance and support for the instrument. In 2009, Matt changed his professional name to Matt Von Roderick and moved from New York City to Los Angeles where he is developing the new sound for his second album, a mixture of his jazz roots with modern rock and electronic textures and production.
