Matty Kopf began his creative journey composing songs and playing guitar in ska-punk bands. Music was his compass, a language of energy, release, and movement. though Born and raised in New Jersey, his music career brought him on tour through half the U.S. and even Europe, residing briefly in both Florida and California. In time, THE LENS OF expression turned inward. Photography and poetry became his next instruments—spaces for reflection, self-examination, and growth. Through them, he continues to explore the spaces between dark and light, sound and silence, memory and becoming.
