PERSONAL HISTORY:Born a homeless orphan, he was raised by stray cats on poisoned rat meat and rancid beer. His education consisted solely of 1970s TV and Cinema. When he was 11, his biological father passed away and left him a house in Brooklyn with a recording studio. Matt soon became interested in music when he saw how easy it was to make money and get laid with 3 chords a delusion that a certain cable music video channel, which shall remain nameless, fueled immensely. Matthew met Dimitri Gurevitch in early 1985. He was robbing some grade school students of their lunch money to buy beer when Dimitri approached him and offered him a job in the music industry with the promise of sex, drugs and wealth. This was a childhood dream come true. The rest is history.
