Matthew Clayton was born in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England, before moving to Brisbane, Australia with his parents and younger sister when he was a child.

His creative interests and talents are wide-ranged, encompassing film directing, script-writing, acting, song-writing and novel writing, with a particular focus on comedy. He has also maintained interests in science, history, politics and playing the drums since childhood.
