About Me

Hey whats up?!? So yeah, my name is Matt. I was born in Tucker, Georgia on January 13, 1985. I lived in Norcross, Ga for 12 years before moving to Duluth, Ga. I graduated from Duluth High School in 2003. I played and quit piano when I was 7. I have played Guitar for about 13 years, same with the Drums, and I’ve played Bass Guitar for 11 or 12 years...but don’t really claim to know how to play it. Let’s put it this way...I’ve owned a bass guitar for 11-12 years. I currently attend the University of West Georgia...5 years strong. I just joined up with a band called The Red Tide Saga . I am also a member of Sigma Nu fraternity. That should be enough information to get you started...enjoy!"I have a girlfriend. I am taken. She is hot."
