He opens up about being thrown into the spotlight, replacing a frontman, and the pressure of living up to a legacy. Matt talks candidly about the silence from bandmates after his departure, the emotional weight of being cut off, and why only one person — tour guitarist Pops Delandro — ever picked up the phone.
We also dive into how today’s music industry has changed, the impact of talent shows like X Factor, and the creation of House of Fyah — Matt’s powerful new reggae project.
This isn’t just a music story. It’s about loyalty, resilience, speaking your truth, and starting again.
