At the age of 10 Mattias started taking lessons at the piano, but it wasn't until age 15 he really embraced composition. Mattias found interest in the drums, composing music and performing with bands like Embracing, Naglfar, Tired Tree and Azure. At an age of 17 in 1995 he released his debut album with Naglfar called "Vittra" which immediately received great success and led to more releases with his other bands. Embracing "I bear the burden of time" was recorded and released in 1996, and the following year saw the release of Embracing "Dreams left behind".

Early 1998 he begun studying composition and arrangement for orchestral, jazz and pop/rock music and begun writing music in a wider area of styles. This year he also participated on the Azure "Moonlight legend" album and played drums for Darkside Cowboys "Disclosure II" CD.

Finally in 2002 after releasing his first solo album under the name Tired Tree he resigned from the job as project engineer at SEMKO in Stockholm and decided to start his own business, producing audio for the entertainment industry. With focus upon game audio Morningdew Media was born. The company name comes from one of the songs of the Embracing 'Dreams left behind' album which he recorded in 1997.

The following years was spent producing studio recordings with different artists, and he also contributed with some work for a antidrug compilation CD. He did a remix/cover of the Moody Blues song "Blue world" for a compilation CD called Higher and Higher - a tribute to the moody blues released by Mellow records.


In 2004 Mattias begun studying design in Skellefteå while working on music for a few game projects like Sprint Madness, Furiae and Rightous Battles. 2007 Ice Game Studios got in touch and Mattias started working on the orchestral fantasy scores for their game LEGIO which will be released early 2010. Currently Mattias is working on a number of different games, albums and music projects for consols, PC and iPhone. Check the webs
