International DJ Matoma makes a track from scratch in new eight-part production video series, 'Teaching Toby' | First episode available to stream now

Matoma is the charismatic Norwegian Dance producer, Spotify Top 40 most streamed artist, world renowned stadium and festival DJ, ‘The Voice’ TV show official coach, climate activist and all-round nice guy.

Tobias Froystad or “Toby’ is the Matoma’s ‘One In A Million’ documentary director, a film he made which shot to #1 on the iTunes Documentary and Indie charts and sold out the biggest cinema in Europe on its premiere release. He also DJs and wants to dabble in music production but didn’t know where to start...

So, it was a moment of destiny when in the midst of the pandemic he was suddenly obliged to quarantine for a few days at Matoma’s new house in the snow-covered forest where he was visiting. Matoma was in the same situation too, so with the spare time they had Toby enlisted the talents of the two billion streaming, classically piano trained friend and embarked on a voyage of creativity across eight super fun episodes. Matoma assumes the role of teacher and creates a special track from scratch in his happy place and both Toby and Matoma were fit and well and in great spirits throughout.

The first episode will be broadcast on Matoma’s official YouTube channel on Nov 9th. After each series is broadcast, there will be a consecutive livestreamed Reddit discussion where they will answer questions on the episode directly from fans.

These classes take you through all aspects of music production from A-Z, specially designed for aspiring producers to follow step by step with explainers all along the way. Covering everything you need to know to get off the ground from opening up a project to understanding the essential tools of what you need. From E.Qing, Effects, Vocal Edits, chopping, sampling, BPM and the whole creative process from beginning to end.

This is not unknown territory for Matoma, as he has a Bachelor’s degree in music production, plays classical piano and has previously studied and aspired to become a music teacher, so this is a natural extension of his talents showing a different side to the international stadium and festival performing DJ.

Without having to even mention that Matoma has the credentials , with over two billion worldwide streams he is ranked among Spotify’s top 40 most streamed artists worldwide. As well collaborating with many cross-genre artists from the likes of Jason Derulo, Jennifer Lopez, Dua Lipa, Becky Hill and The Vamps as well a dazzling array of remixes for artists as varied as Coldplay, One Direction, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Sean Paul, amongst others.
