Bio

After surviving 4 years of Mechanical Engineering at university and winning Best Newcomer at the 2002 Student Radio Awards he followed his dream of being a presenter and took his first role on the legendary Virgin Megastores' Radio in London. Before long he was head-hunted by a commercial radio group and from 2006 to 2008 he worked his way through the ranks of CN Radio until he was the host of the network Evening Show broadcasting to the whole of the West Midlands and interviewing guests such as Paul Weller and the Sugababes.

After building a loyal following with his stunts and personable presenting style, his itchy feet got the better of him and once again he packed his surfboard for a trip to some of the more ferocious waves breaking in the Southern Hemisphere. Now back in Blighty, he is looking for the next big challenge and plans to go there with a video camera. In the mean-time you can find him presenting the Weekend Show on the newly launched Oxygen Radio and freelancing for the BBC.

Matt is technically skilled in video and sound editing and enjoys writing his blog with a dry take on life. It's hard to avoid his wit and cheeky banter but it's also hard not love this very modern day adventurer with a warm heart and a friendly smile.

Matt is a skilled interviewer and can comfortably converse with anyone from sports personality to rock and roll legend. As well as being an experienced live broadcaster he has a thorough knowledge of the RCS playout system and skills in production, scheduling, managing traffic and website maintenance.
