Matthew Phillp has covered New York City nightlife as a journalist for the past ten years and has been secretly writing a novel about it for the past four. On a good day, he wakes up early and writes for an hour in the dark, half asleep. When completely awake, he has contributed to the Village Voice and DNA Magazine Australia (among many other publications) and co-hosted a nightlife talk radio show in the East Village for four years on which he was one of the first people in the world to interview Lady Gaga. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
