Matthew Koma (born Matthew Bair, June 2, 1987) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer and DJ. Matthew Koma is one of the most accomplished writers behind numerous smash hits including Zedd’s “Spectrum,” and GRAMMY-winning hit “Clarity.”
“Kisses Back” is Koma’s latest single on RCA Records. This new body of work shows Koma’s evolution with a refined sound as he taps into the new generation of producers such as Jai Wolf, Louis The Child, Flux Pavilion and Grey.
Koma was born and raised in Seaford, New York, on Long Island.. He attended Seaford High School.
Inspired by Elvis Costello and Bruce Springsteen, Koma started his music career in punk rock, later transitioning into a mixture of genres ranging from pop and hip hop to EDM. Koma's early collaborations include work with Hardwell, Zedd, Miriam Bryant, Sebastian Ingrosso, Alesso, Tiësto, Vicetone and Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic.
Koma was noticed by Jimmy Iovine who signed him to Interscope Records after watching an acoustic performance of the record "She". He later released his first EP, Parachute, in May 2012, in which he wrote, produced and co-produced all four tracks with collaborators Twice as Nice, Alex da Kid, Sam Watters, Louis Biancaniello, and Ari Levine. Since then he has taken part in the Sorry For Party Rocking worldwide tour with LMFAO and Far East Movement, and more recently finished touring with the band Owl City. In March 2012, Bruce Springsteen released "Rocky Ground," a remix that Koma co-produced with Ron Aniello as a single from his album Wrecking Ball.
