360 - Matt Colwell

From the early days of Aussie hip hop to festival-level fame, this is the unfiltered story of 360.

360 (Matt Colwell) talks to Key about the beginnings - From starting in a rock band to breaking through with Festival Song, rising alongside his best mate Pez, and riding the wave of huge tours, parties, attention and expectation. On the outside it looked like success. Behind the scenes, it was chaos. Addiction, burnout and self-destruction quietly took hold until everything eventually collapsed.

In this episode, 360 opens up about hitting rock bottom, going to rehab, and the unexpected path that followed — faith, church, and rebuilding his life from the ground up. We talk honestly about the personal shift that saw him go from writing Boys Like You - a song built around casual sex and excess - to choosing no sex at all until marriage.

Matt also addresses the long-rumoured Triple J fallout. He shares his perspective on being effectively blacklisted, how his views sharpened after the COVID era, and why he believes the station isn’t about the music anymore — plus what that’s meant for his career and creative freedom.

This is a raw, reflective conversation about fame, identity, addiction, belief, and what happens when the party ends - and you’re left to work out who you actually are.
