Matthew is the co-founder of Ritual Music. Matt met future Ritual co-founder Jarett on a school playground in Saudi Arabia in 1994 (true story) and they hatched a plan to write songs as great as Mr. Vain by Culture Beat. He has a VERY useful BA in Political Science and has worked in the music industry since seeing a Constantines show in 2007, which as he annoyingly reminds people, "blew his mind". When he's not pretending to know how to run a music company, he sometimes tours with his band Gold & Youth (Arts & Crafts) but mainly he just parties with his dog Louie (unsigned).
