Matt Chisling

London, United Kingdom.

Let this be the one thing you remember about Matt Chisling - he hates all foods that have raisins in them, but he loves raisins. However, past that, he has proven himself to be an asset to teams in the fields of marketing and the music industry. In 2007, he began working as a music critic and columnist for All Music Guide, where he covered work for Adele, Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert, and British artists like Cheryl Cole, The Saturdays, and One Direction. Additionally, as the senior staff writer for Realitytvcalendar.com, he has interviewed some of the biggest names in reality television, including Simon Cowell and The X-Factor's Melanie Amaro. His work has been cited, published and quoted over 1,500 times. In the summer of 2012, Matt moved to New York to complete not one, but two internships with the Universal Music Group, the worlds largest record label.

Matt graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing from McGill University in 2013 at the top of his class. He is currently studying an Msc in Culture and Society at the London School of Economics. His current research looks at changing consumer behaviour patterns in the music industry, and questions of authenticity in popular music consumption. His background in marketing, music, and cultural studies makes him a qualified candidate for positions in various media fields.

But, seriously, if you remember one thing, it should be the raisin thing.
