Wikipedia:yd Matters is a French musician whose real name is Jonathan Morali. Syd Matters is a pseudonym which comes from slight modification of the names of two Pink Floyd members: Syd Barrett and Roger Waters.
Matters was born April 14, 1973 in Paris. As a child he found little enjoyment in subjects such as math and science but showed great interest in the arts, which later led to his studying music at Sarah Lawrence College. He started his performing career playing at small bars until being noticed by Third Side Records and signed to a recording contract. This resulted in his first album, A Whisper and a Sigh, which was recorded during the summer of 2002. After this album was released, Matters constructed a new four-piece band and in April 2005 released his second album, Someday We Will Foresee Obstacles. A mixture of folk and melancholic pop, his music combines slow melodies with acoustic instruments while holding true to its roots in electronic music.
His songs "To All of You" and "Hello Sunshine", a Super Furry Animals cover, were featured in the Fox Network's The O.C. in Season 3's The Party Favor and Season 4's The Metamorphosis, respectively.
