Like so many of his music industry peers, Matt knew what he wanted to do with his life from an extremely early age: "…I found my calling by the time I was in kindergarten," he says in his best-selling autobiography, All These Things That I've Done: My Insane, Improbable Rock Life. "All I wanted to do was listen to records and get other people as excited about them as I was." In 1980, while still in his teens, Matt signed on as a college radio DJ at Rutgers University's WRSU, and in 1984 he joined WHTG, a pioneering NJ Modern Rock station, where he soon became MD, winning the Gavin Award for "Music Director of the Year – Alternative" two years in a row (1991-1992). In 1993, Matt moved from radio to television, joining MTV as host of 120 Minutes, and quickly became one of the most popular personalities in the channel's history, going on to host several of his own programs (MattRock, Pinfield Presents, Pinfield Suite and Stump Matt, to name just a few) and more than 100 specials. In 2001 Matt was named Vice President A&R and Artist Development at Columbia Records where, among many others, he had the pleasure of working with one of his lifelong heroes, David Bowie. Over the years, Matt has interviewed virtually every major rock personality, from legends like Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones to such contemporary superstars as Dave Grohl and The Killers. In fact, The Killers based their song, "All These Things I've Done," on Matt's life--Matt then named his autobiography after the song! He's been honored by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and was a member of the Grammys/Recording Academy Board of Governors, and continues to be the "go-to guy" whenever somebody needs an expert on rock music, making frequent film and TV appearances as well as hosting Westwood One/Cumulus's syndicated "Flashback" program (a position he's held since 2012), and his own Sunday night show on KLOS in Los Angeles.
