Matt Killeen was born in Birmingham and, like many of his generation, was absorbed by tales of the war and obsessed with football from an early age. Guitars arrived at fourteen, wrecking any hopes of so-called normality. He has had a great many careers — some creative, some involving laser guns — and has made a living as an advertising copywriter and largely ignored music and sports journalist. He fulfilled a childhood ambition and became a writer for the world's best-loved toy company in 2010.
He lives near London with his soulmate, children, dog and musical instruments, looking wistfully north at a hometown that has been largely demolished and rebuilt in his lengthy absence.
