July 2005 - Artist Feature

Matt Watkins
We recently spent a week with Matt in his home country, England. He was one of our signature artists for the Keep A Breast benefit at the Roxy Jam UK. Matt was constantly entertaining us with everything from his zest for “Roxy Life” to his sound rally for “fish and chips” come mealtime. On our last day of the trip we finally had a chance to heed the call, and we munched on England's finest seaside fare along the shore in Newquay.

Not only is Matt super fun to hang out with, but he's talented to boot. His art conveys a tongue-in-cheek humor you simply can't resist. Matt's skill and wit is an inspiration to many projects, including the chart-topping Gorillaz and Beat13, a modern-day arts and crafts collaboration.
