Biography

[edit]

Tom Lee was born in the United Kingdom and grew up in Christchurch, while Graham Matthews was raised in Tauranga.[1] Both moved to Auckland in 2012, and met at a DJ course at the Music and Audio Institute of New Zealand. They began collaborating on school projects after finding out that they had similar tastes in music, and in late 2013 began releasing music under the name Joystix.[1][2][3] In 2014, the duo released their debut single, "I Got You".[2] The group changed their name to Lee Matthews, after each members' surname, and decided to change the spelling to Lee Mvtthews, due to the Irish country singer Lee Matthews.[1] In 2017, Lee Mvtthews released their debut extended play Silhouettes.[3]

The group released their debut album Bones in November 2019,[4] winning the Aotearoa Music Award for Best Electronic Artist at the 2020 Aotearoa Music Awards.[5] In 2020, the band became the first signee to Perth DJ ShockOne's Dark Machine Records in 2020.[6] The album's lead single "Takeover" became a hit in New Zealand in 2022.[7]
