Matt Hyde

After graduating from the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, Matt Hyde toured with a variety of bands, playing guitar and keyboards. When he'd had enough of life on the road, Matt began working at recording studios -- first in Boston, then in Los Angeles. He did programming and engineering on various projects (including a few tracks for No Doubt's "Tragic Kingdom"), and produced small rock and hip-hop projects on his own, including demos for a then-unknown Cypress Hill.

Matt met Perry Farrell, and for a time not only produced Porno For Pyros, but was a member of the band. Matt soon realized that he was more at home in the studio than on the stage. He resumed his production career, and has been going strong ever since.

Some highlights from his career include:
