Mathew is fairly calm, not a very enthusiastic being. He likes to sit around and listen to or play music. He sleeps for an ungodly amount of time each day and night. He isn't very fond of exercise or any sports influenced activities. He is quiet when he actually talks, and does not care whether people hear him out or not. He doesn't fight usually, he just walks away. He'd rather be alone then united with a group of people, though he is not a "loner", he's more of a Syd Barrett. He finds solace in music and art so that he won't feel alone. He'll occasionally smoke pot or take a few mushrooms, but no other drugs really interest him. All-in-all, he is gentle and goes about his own business.
History
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Matt was raised in the city. He learned about all of the culture at an early age, interested by the underground music scene. By the age of seven, he was learning to play Viola. When he thought it had taught him enough, he grew fond of the guitar and bass. He'd drawn himself closer and closer to the classical side of the guitar, but the modern side of the bass. When he was twelve, he and his brother (who played drums) started messing around with music, and were featured on a local radio station. One month later, however, his brother died in a fire. With a sudden spark of depression, Matt sunk into a darker side of music. When he turned thirteen, he had already written eight notebooks full of morbid poems about death. He expanded his knowledge of the subject of life, death and the after life. He converted to Buddhism, and found it comforting. As he mourned, he wrote music and lyrics to his own songs. He took up piano and mastered it in less than a year. He drew a lot of inspiration from the sad events in his life and left his hometown without a word after high school, when he came across Satriani. He contacted his parents and they enrolled him. Matt wishes to expand on his musical knowledge, and hopefully, one day accept the faults in his past.
