It’s not easy to walk the line between refinement and innovation. 

Matt Thibideau was born July 12th, 1975 in Wallaceburg, Ontario and has been on his path as an artist since day one.

Thankfully, he hasn’t had to walk alone.

“I have four brothers - two sets of twins.  Art and music very much runs in my family:  My grandfather was great at woodworking, played piano and pencil drawings.  My father likes woodworking, my Mother likes to paint.  Both of my grandparents on my fathers side sang in the church.  My brothers Mark and Greg also produce music.”

Clearly, the Thibideau household was a highly charged creative environment.  As for his surroundings, they too played an important part in shaping Matt’s creative development.

“I disliked the town very much.  We were surrounded by farming and industrial plants.  It was very much a blue collar environment.”

However, Matt would find a second home in another blue collar town just a few hours drive from Wallaceburg.  Although international borders separated these two cities, the airwaves emanating from radio stations in Detroit reached out to Matt and his circle of friends.  A bond was formed and through the years, the city of Detroit had a profound influence on all of them.

“I grew up listening to New Wave and Industrial music.  Mark and I were outcasts in the small town we lived in.  We formed an industrial band with Dawn Lewis (vocalist in Repair) and often went to Detroit to go to concerts.  I think it (Detroit) was a big influence on my sound and music making.”

Matt spent a few years refining his talents studying music production and engineering and making a name for himself performing alongside twin brother Mark in London, ON - home of +8, PROBE and Definitive Records.  Situated between Detroit and Toronto, it was a burgeoning hub for out of town performers such as Richie Hawtin, Fred Gianelli and Allan Oldham as well as becoming a launching pad for several new artists such as Matt.

When Matt left London for new horizons in Toronto, it was a difficult period of growth.  For the first time in many years, he was separated from his brother Mark.  Although it was on favourable terms, they were isolated from each other as musical collaborators for about a year. 

In that time apart, Matt refined his sound put together an impressive string of solo recordings for internationally respected labels such as Sub-Static, Blue, and Restructured.  No question—Matt Thibideau had truly arrived and found his own voice as a recording artist.

When contemplating “the perfect storm” of premier releases for Open Concept Recordings, label boss Dylan Joseph had Matt front and center when thinking of world class talent that would ensure that OCR would not go unnoticed.
