Matt Hales, aka Aqualung, began songwriting at an early age of four. Gaining experience through projects in school and with brother Ben, he was awarded a scholarship to study composition in Winchester when he was sixteen.
Before becoming a one-man band, Matt joined his brother to form their first band performing
The Police cover songs and selling cassette tapes outside their college gates. When their band Ruth and its successor 45s didn't lead to much success, they disbanded.

Matt decided to work on his own, first coming up with his self-titled album Aqualung in 2002 whose single "Strange and Beautiful" became popular through a TV ad. In 2005, he compiled 12 of his earlier songs and released Brighter Than Sunshine in the U.S.
