.. HISTORY Matt started out as a DJ spinning at local clubs and parties in his home town of Greenville, South Carolina. He quickly learned the art of mixing and beat matching records and was known for his "different" sets of atmospheric drum and bass, acid-jazz and trip-hop. Although Matt enjoyed being a DJ, he sometimes felt limited creatively and desired to do more with the music he so loved.Around that time, Matt went to visit a friend in Florida. His friend showed him how he could write and produce his own electronic compositions using little more than a home computer and some software. Within twentyfour hours of this discovery, Matt had already produced his first original track and immediately he was hooked. It has been nothing short of obsession ever since.Matt came back to South Carolina with a new found passion for electronic music and it seemed that his creativity could not be tamed. He traded in his turntables for a computer, a microphone and a keyboard and started making music at every chance he got.It's been approximately six and a half years since then and matt is still just as driven by music now as ever before!Matt is currently working on his first record release and it will hopefully be completed by the early part of 2007. Be on the look out for this album when it drops.
