I’ve recently being doing live gigs and released an album by my band Twin Danger with singer songwriter/Instrumentalist Vanessa Bley.

Syrie Moskowitz: Tell us something about your style.

Stuart Matthewman: I guess growing up in England in the 70’s watching Bowie and Roxy Music and then getting into Punk and New wave..It was always about looking good, Not necceserally being good looking. English kids were always stealing styles from different eras from the UK, America, the Caribbean and then making it their own… The Clash were a big influence on me style wise. Kinda mix and match old and new. Thrift and designer. I love 50’s style but I have various 20’s/30’s suits including a couple I acquired that were made for Nucky in Boardwalk Empire.
