At 14, he bombarded his local radio station with demos and requests for work experience placements. They gave in! Matt became part of the promotions team for Ivel FM. After a few months of handing out car stickers and mugs he was offered a placement working on the breakfast show. This lead onto a full time job as the station administrator.
