Matt Tilley

Matt Tilley is one of the most talented and successful radio personalities in Melbourne - working with FOX FM for the past 18 years!

Matt was discovered by FOX FM when he was doing a 21st birthday speech for a friend. At the time he was studying Law at university, had never been up before 10am and certainly didn't know what breakfast radio was all about. Since then, he has certainly made his mark in radio being part of the longest running Number One FM shows in Melbourne's history. Now he is part of the new Matt & Jo show with the fabulous Adam Richard every morning on FOX FM. In late 2005, Matt's infamous 'Gotcha Calls' were released as a 'Best Of' CD (Cereal Pest). This went to number one on the charts where it remained for several weeks and raised more than $160,000 for the Mercy Hospital redevelopment.

Inside Matt's Head

I've never ... eaten Lobster. I prefer Echidna as a real challenge in terms of getting to the meat.

I'd love to ask (either) Matt / Jo / Troy / Adam ... what they say when I leave the studio. Its always a bit quiet when I walk back in as well.

The last time I got into trouble was ... when my 3 year old yelled to a stranger selecting lollies..."For the love of God put it back!"

I don't give 'Blue Steel', I give ... washers to those shaker tins at lights and also as tips in cafes. They make exactly the same clink as a fifty cent piece.

The movie of my life would be called ... "This film is yet to be classified by the Office of Film Literature and Televison". That would really confuse people.

My guilty secret pin up is ... a donkey. I practice every night and am yet to be beaten at a kids party in the last 6 years. I have won over 70 Freddo Frogs!

I cook amazing ... Home made pasta with my own home grown pesto. It always seems a bit dryer than Jamie Oliver's but maybe that's because I don't lisp all over mine as I make it.

I can't face ... up to my past. Thank heavens for that radio performance workshop I took in Prison all those years ago.

I'm fanatical about ... Cycling, Cricket, Footy, Beer, Philately and always including at least one lie in these answers.

I'd love to try ... and see how long I could stay quiet for. This probably wouldn't go down too well at work. (With the exclusion of my on air partners naturally!)

I can't got to bed without ... whinging about getting up early and then buggering around for 40 minutes. My wife calls me Harry Potterer because I fluff about so much.

In the car I ... enjoy talking to myself. People stare less since the invention of hands free which makes a nice alibi.
