About Me

My name is Matt. I'm from South London and have lived here all my life except for a 3 year stint in Portsmouth when I was studying. I like music lots and play guitar in a couple of bands. I also run a record label with some mates and put on gigs once a month in central London.
My bands: NineBar Injury Time
The label: Rucktion Records
I like martial arts a lot and do Wing Chun, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and boxing about twice a week each. It takes up a lot of my time but it's all good. This summer I fell in love with the city of Hong Kong. Next year I want to do a bit of travelling around SE Asia so if you have any advice, horror stories etc please let me know.
