Born and raised in suburban Huntington Beach, CA, singer-songwriter Matt Costa got his first guitar at age 12 but put it aside to chase his first dream of being a professional skateboarder. He became one, too, until a nasty fall shattered his leg. Thats when he picked up his guitar again and recorded a homemade demo, which fortuitously found its way to No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont. Dumont offered to help Costa record more demos at his own home studio, resulting in Costas self-titled debut EP and the full-length, Songs We Sing. Since then, Costa has also blossomed as a live performer, opening for such acts as Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Built to Spill and Gomez.
