BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 10th December 2017
Matt talks to Beck Hansen about the first key musical moments in his career to date.
He is one of the most versatile and inquisitive musical minds to emerge from the US underground.
He grew up listening to classic rock, punk and hip hop in Los Angeles and busking around the underground anti-folk scene in New York. This journey led to him creating albums that have encompassed blues, slacker rock, lush Americana, Prince-style soul funk, psychedelia and pop.
In the 90s when he first found fame he was regarded as a postmodern pop star for his skill in playfully blending the past and present, but now nearly 25 years later it's obvious he was just a great songwriter looking to see what styles worked best for his music.
