Background
Matthew, or Matthias, was born in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California. His father worked as an imaginer for Walt Disney for some time, during which they had to move to Orlando. As his father designed theme parks for Disney, he could visit Disney World any time he wanted.

He has a younger brother, Joey (or J-Fred), and an older sister, Sarah. His sister married Bryan. Matthias, Bryan, and J-Fred were all the original members of Team Edge.

Prior to Spellbound, Matt worked at a Tech Pro at a Best Buy in Minnesota, a Manager at a Drug Store in California, Producer at JouleThief Films, Composer at Music Mentality Productions, Content Creator at Maker Studios Inc, Producer/Director at AwesomenessTV, and was a Content Creator at Studio71, LP.

Matthias met Amanda Faye in high school PE class. They dated for four years before he proposed to her on a deserted beach. On May 18th 2013, they married. The couple has a daughter named Luna and a son named Atticus.

Matthias started his channel on August 10th, 2011. His first official video is "Shades of Blue", followed by "How to Love - lil WAYNE Cover (Remix) by Matthias". However, they are both unlisted on his channel. Thus, his first video still open to the public is "Fun- We Are Young - Matthias cover of Fun".

Entertainment Industry
Born and raised in Southern California, Matthias developed a passion for the art of film making. At a very young age, he began to create his own films, directing, editing, and scoring them. To this day, Matthias has directed twelve short films, produced fourteen, and loves the creative challenge that accompanies it.

He attended College of the Canyons from 2008-2010 for a degree in Film. In 2009, he also directed a movie, titled Maestro, which won Best Cinematography award and got featured on the homepage of Vimeo. In 2010, he transferred to California State University, North ridge. At CSUN, he majored in Audio/Sound Engineering. He became a member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. At CSUN, he was one of four students to be chosen to direct a thesis film with an over $30,000 budget. A fellow student named Alex, who helped him with the project, had a YouTube channel called Joule Thief. Matthias, who had lost his job at the drug store during this time, started making YouTube videos in April 2012 with Alex's help and never looked back. In 2008, Matthias created his own music composition and scoring company titled Music Mentality Productions. Under this company name, he has scored over eleven short films, two commercials, and a feature film.

He has also released three full-length albums. His music has been released in major stores such as iTunes and Amazon and has been signed to music labels such as Jigsaw Recordings.

Music
When Matthias was in the 10th grade, he made friends with a number of like-minded students at school. They had a band, which made him interested in music. Even though he had never sang before, he introduced himself as a vocalist to be with the group. He eventually learned to play instruments like guitar, bass, and piano. Even though his friends lost interest in music, he remained passionate about it. He would later meet DJ Michael Badal, who shared the same passion. From Mike, Matthias learned how to make music by himself with the help of an apple computer. When he was in the 11th grade, he formed the band The Social and recorded a 14-song album titled "Where We Should Be" with Mike's help.

Matthias and Michael Badal started a record label called Chill Records, which now has signed and released their first single with the artist, Catherine Roze. She has worked with Matthias previously at the drug store he worked at. They released a music video together covering the song "Somebody That I used to Know" by Goyte, which is on the Matthias', now Dope or Nope channel. Soon after, she released her first original song titled "Closure" and has started her own vlog channel, called 'Røze.'
