BIO

Wyred is a music production alias created by Matt Dwyer, a twenty-six year old musician from New Jersey. At the age of seven years old Matt began teaching himself guitar and piano and went on to play multiple brass, string, and percussion instruments throughout his childhood.  He was lead guitarist for multiple bands through adolescence, studying advanced classical guitar at William Paterson University while in high school.

In 2013, Dwyer received a significant scholarship to study Electrical Engineering at Drexel University in Philadelphia, as well as a guitar scholarship to play in the Drexel University Jazz Ensemble.  At that time, he also immersed himself in the electronic music culture of Philadelphia, and began learning music production under the alias "Wyred" , an anagram for his last name and a nod to his background in Electrical Engineering. He became obsessed with writing and producing music, spanning from dirty bass music to modern pop music— all while working as an electrical engineer for a military contractor. 

Dwyer left electrical engineering behind when he was invited to join the Icon Collective School of Music in Los Angeles. In the Summer of 2017 he graduated with a degree in Digital Music Production. 

While in school, Wyred began collaborating with artists such as Sammy Adams, Matthew Koma, Fitness, ScarLit, Hvdes, J Clark, Tonoso, OSOTYT, and Kaivon. Wyred released his first single “Where You Are”with Sammy Adams which reached nearly 15 Million streams since 2017. Wyred has collaborated with Matthew Koma & DJ Carter Cruise to produce music for various pop artists and began scoring music for short films using largely synth-based atmospheres and percussion.

A longtime cinephile, Matt has been passionate about film composing and in 2020, began working as an apprentice to Award winning film composer Timothy Williams as a drum programmer on projects for Disney and Dreamworks.
