Matthew Kean (born 2 June 1986) is a British musician, best known as the bassist of the rock band Bring Me the Horizon.

[3] On his days off from college wondering what to do apart from playing on his computer, he decided to buy a bass guitar.

[3] Before joining Bring Me the Horizon, he would watch bandmate Lee Malia perform in his Metallica tribute band.

[3][4] Bring Me the Horizon formed in 2004, and they released their debut EP, This Is What the Edge of Your Seat Was Made For, later that year.

[4] On 12 December 2016, Kean was selected for the front cover on the 138th edition of Bass Guitar magazine, featuring an exclusive interview with the bassist.

[16] His amp setup consists of an 8x10' cabinet, an Ashdown head and an Ampeg SVT-VR reissue.

[18] He likes to keep his style simple and doesn't use any effects,[3] however he has a Tube Screamer pedal and used a plugin from SansAmp on recording "What You Need" from the band's fifth studio album, That's the Spirit.

[3] Kean also stated that he was never influenced by any bass players though he appreciated technical bassists like Billy Sheehan and Matt Freeman from Rancid who stood out to him.

[20] During the recording of Sempiternal, Kean didn't have a place to live along with former bandmate Jona Weinhofen, so they stayed in a hotel together during that time.
