In the heart of Gothenburg city, 2 minutes walk from the popular avenue lies the office and studio of DJ and producer Matias Lehtola. If we rewind 8 years back in time, this is about where Matias started his producing career without any prior musical education or experience. Just a few years later, he got the opportunity working with a handful of major labels such as Universal Music, Avex Japan, AATW, Sony BMG, Lionheart. Today Matias is a full time working producer and releasing stunning music througout Captured Music where he alongside Mike Shiver work as a PR and A&R Manager. Besides producing, Matias is travelling worldwide with his DJ case as well as working as a teacher at Sweden's most prestigious music educaton resource - ORCA. In the meantime he is also broadcasting together with Mike Shiver, 'Captured Radio' in conjunction with one of the leading internet broadcasters worldwide; Digitally Imported (DI.FM) and Dance-Tunes Ltd (ID&T) which gains listeners consistently with its current 20,000+ daily listeners. In 2006 his debut single 'Burning Bright' together with the leading dutch sing and songwriter Gina J (Gia Mellish), became a great success as being entitled the biggest Captured Music selling record up to date. If we take a closer look into the portfolio, we can reveal brand new releases in the pipline with artist's and producers such as Mike Shiver, Jorn van Deynhoven and talanted vocalists like Nicolai Prowse, Andrea Britton and well reknowned sing and songwriter Niki Saletta from LA. Having this said, 2009 and 2010 looks rather bright for this young talent, and with frequent support from the biggest in trance and progressive, Matias Lehtola is for sure on his way up to the top!
