"Tobias Wonderdog (also known as Mat Weaven) is an Australian singer-songwriter known for his energetic pop-rock shows. With a background as a trumpet player, Mat ventured into rock and formed the band 3rd Person which held a sold-out launch in Melbourne. He later fronted the band Upstream from 2004-2008, making a strong presence on the live music scene in Melbourne and supporting major acts like The Screaming Jets and Airbourne. Although Upstream's songs can be found on YouTube, they never had a distributed release. In 2013, Mat linked up with Damien Young and Mark Kennedy to release his long-awaited album, "Land of Paper Chimneys." With a bold approach to creativity, Mat's songs aim to support his own mental health and express his beliefs about embracing life as a whole. Inspired by Midnight Oil and his dog Toby, Mat sings about vulnerability and the importance of living in the moment. He encourages people to destroy the myth of what's considered "normal" and practice constructive criticism."
