Matthew Koma was born in Brooklyn on the 2nd June, 1987. He grew up in New York, Long Island. Matthew is a popular singer and songwriter. The amazing fact is that he started writing music at the age of 9. The singer states that the music of Elvis Costello and Bruce Springsteen served as a great source of inspiration for him and motivated him to pursue a career as a punk rock singer. Later on, he started to produce music based on the mixture of different genres from pop to hip-hop.
In the beginning of his career, Matthew worked in collaboration with Hardwell, Zedd, Tiësto as well as a number of other well-known figures in the industry of music. The talent of this young musician was soon noticed by Jimmy Iovine who helped Koma to sign a contract with Interscope Records. This label helped Matthew to present his debut EP to public in 2012. It consisted of 4 tracks. Koma worked together with Alex da Kid, Sam Watters, Ari Levine, Twice as Nice and Louis Biancaniello to produce, promote and co-produce them.
