Syd Matters is a French band fronted by musician Jonathan Morali. The other band members are Jean-Yves Lozac'h, Olivier Marguerit, Remi Alexandre and Clement Carle. The name Syd Matters comes from the slight modification of the names of two Pink Floyd members: Syd Barrett and Roger Waters. Syd Matters is also the pseudonym of the band's frontman, Jonathan Morali. Morali was born in Paris on May 22, 1980; the lyrics of his song "Battle of Olympus ... " appear to suggest an earlier date. He started his performing career playing at small bars until being noticed by Third Side Records and signed to a recording contract. This resulted in his first album, "A Whisper and a Sigh", which was recorded during the summer of 2002. After this album was released, Morali constructed a new four-piece band and in April 2005 released his second album, "Someday We Will Foresee Obstacles". A mixture of folk and melancholic pop, his music combines slow melodies with acoustic instruments while holding true to its roots in electronic music.
