Matt 在网站上介绍自己说：
Matt is a 31-year-old deadbeat from Connecticut who used to think that all he ever wanted to do in life was make and play videogames. Matt achieved this goal pretty early and enjoyed it for a while, but eventually realized there might be other stuff he was missing out on. In February of 2003, he quit his job in Brisbane, Australia and used the money he'd saved to wander around Asia until it ran out. He made this site so he could keep his family and friends updated about where he is.
在旅行的途中，一位驴友建议他 "Hey, why don't you stand over there and do that dance. I'll record it." 这个“a very good idea.” 几年后被网友发现，一传十，十传百，使得Matt小有名气，被Stride gum旅游公司相中：
They asked Matt if he'd be interested in taking another trip around the world to make a new video. Matt asked if they'd be paying for it. They said yes. Matt thought this sounded like another very good idea.
2006年，在Stride gum公司的赞助下，Matt历时6月，巡游39国，拍摄了他第二段跳舞视频。之后，一发不可收拾，陆续推出了2007年版和2008年版。
网站上还介绍了Matt的一些轶事：
Matt was a very poor student and never went to college. When he got older, he was pleased to discover that no one actually cares. Matt doesn't want to imply that college is bad or anything. He's just saying is all. There's other ways to fill your head.
When Matt was younger, he could hang seven spoons on his face at once. Sadly, puberty made Matt's face less conducive to spoon-hanging.
在FAQ中Matt机智幽默的回答了一些网友的问题，列一些在下面：
Your dancing style has changed a little bit over the years. What happened?
I don't really know. It just kind of settled a bit and now I can't do it any other way. I've watched the first video and tried to imitate that style, but I can't remember how to do it, so I just do what comes naturally.
- What's the message of your videos?
Up to you. I'm just dancing.
- Why is the world so screwed up?
Men.
How do we fix it?
Women.
- This is all a big hoax, isn't it? You did it with a green screen. You never left your house. It's true, isn't it?
Yes.
I knew it! I'm telling everyone! You're nailed, buddy!
我非常喜欢Matt做事情的简单随性自我，他舞跳的一般，却很有感染力 :)
