AU NAME: Matthew "Matty X" Block AU AGE: 27 AU OCCUPATION: Musician BLURB: • Grew up in a rural area on a farm owned by his decently-sized family. Was a music and pop culture nerd. • Started a band in high school with a cousin or sibling and a couple of their friends, of which he was frontman, lead singer, and guitarist. (He wasn't actually very good at guitar.) • First moved out to Recolle for college - studied theater. • Stayed for a little while to pursue jobs in acting and modeling. Didn't get as far as he hoped. • Headed back to his hometown, got the band back together, switched from its singer/guitarist to its singer/bassist (in contrast to the guitar, he is a fairly groovy bassist), and actually started making some ground with them as a serious project. New wave and glam rock influences - I'm thinking the Ark meets the Killers meets the more recent 1975. They're not chart-toppers or anything on that level, but they've got a cult following. • To distance himself from his unremarkable background and a family he was drifting apart from, Matty started calling himself "Matty X" shortly into his musical career - and started pronouncing the "X" as a Roman Numeral "Ten" to make it seem like a little less of an obvious, cheap alias. • When their paychecks started coming in, Matty moved the band onto its own record label, based in Recolle. • Band has only had one or two consistent members other than Matty, those probably being the relative and/or one of the school friends; he can be a bit of a demanding creative control freak. • He's still a huge pop culture junkie - esp. when it comes to music, since it is an area that pertains to him financially. Does some talent scouting • Also a clotheshorse and a foodie. • All over social media.
LOOKING FOR: Fans, anti-fans, bandmates or ex-bandmates, other musical/entertainment/business associates, creative types who he might not work with necessarily but who he might be aware of and have an opinion on, immediate or distant relatives, former classmates, anyone else who might've known him pre-career, anyone who might run hip 'n hot establishments in Recolle or who he otherwise might bump into while painting the town - anything goes!
