."matto", a musical free spirit in his fifties, has spent his whole life chasing melodies and

jamming in every conceivable corner.

After breaking up the band "Selfish" in the 90s, Matthias founded "The Formers", a motley

group of indie musicians and performed at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin - in front of half a

million people as the first Swiss band in the lineup.

Shortly before his 50th birthday, "matto" decided to leave the compromises of a band

structure behind him. So he went to Sweden, where he swapped the hustle and bustle of the

city for the tranquillity of the country. Together with his ex-guitarist Sacha Leuenberger, who

had emigrated, he created songs peppered with indie folk and Americana elements.
