Matty Healy’s career highlights
In 2002, Matty Healy formed The 1975 with Adam Hann, Ross MacDonald, and George Daniel while attending Wilmslow High School in Cheshire, England. Their shared passion for music led them to experiment with various genres, blending elements of indie rock, pop and electronic. The band got its name from an inscription found in a book of Beat poetry belonging to Healy’s mother.
The band started off by releasing four EPs between 2012-2013 – Facedown, Sex, Music For Cars and IV, which went on to become the foundation of their successful album releases.
