    <bio>&lt;p&gt;Matthew began his journey in a small, dying farming community.  Realizing 
the existence he had been brought to embrace would soon be outmoded, he set 
out on a mission to find some sort of importance and place in the modern 
world.  Years of traveling would ensue, wandering from place to place and 
job to job.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The story picks up again as he eventually made his way to 
Montreal. He is currently learning the beautiful trade of butchery, while 
working on his musical projects Adjitka and Olive Wheels, which will surely 
one day lead him to fame and fortune. Matthew's interest in music is 
entirely economic and is intended for social climbing, while also 
establishing himself as the genius he  has always known himself to be. One 
day recognition will be his and the world will rue the day they doubted him. &lt;/p&gt;
  
&lt;p&gt;This seems to be the sweet promised place the one mission would lead him 
too.&lt;/p&gt;</bio>
