popular music podcast 'Mainly Music', produced by Sarah Bishop (who also produces Frank Skinner

Matt has previously presented at the Chelsea Flower Show (interviewing David Haye and Bill Bailey)
and represented Virgin Radio at The Brits after having a few radio take-overs on Jamie East’s show,
including a New Year’s Special. His work includes backstage access at huge events including British
Summertime Festival and Silverstone Grand Prix, interviewing formula 1 drivers during F1 Live.
Matt’s passion for music shines through all of his work and his huge social presence has caught the
eye of big brands. This has led to big acting and producing opportunities including working with the
legend Alan Fletcher (Karl Kennedy) on a brand-new travel and photography documentary, due to air
in the UK next year, and being and a supporting artist on the hit Australian soap, Neighbours.
Through his intensely creative vision and bespoke music passion, Matt mingles with artists such as
Black Sabbath at their Ten Year War party, spent 4 days in NYC with Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) being
part of his crew at Jimmy Fallon show, partied with Noel Gallagher, Royal Blood and Ed Sheeran at The
BRITs Warner Music after-party, was a guest at Ronnie Wood & Robert Plant’s Save The Children night
and attended numerous awards including Inside Soap Awards and an after-party with Will I Am and

Other projects Matt’s been involved in include Google’s Pixel project with KISS at the O2 in June 2017,
where he attended with Sophie Simmons (Gene Simmons’ daughter) and promoted the new Google
Live phone cases. Matt is a big Liverpool fan and also currently runs the Instagram channel for
Liverpool’s International Academy in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Matt is the Co-founder of global altruism movement ‘Do Something For Nothing’, which is a global
goodwill movement of altruism. It started with Josh Coombes cutting hair for the homeless and as one
of his best friends, Matt documented it with photography and worked with the media to promote it,
which resulted in the campaign going viral.
