Matthew Wilder Biography

Matthew Wilder is one of the most popular and richest Music Producer who was born on January 24, 1953 in New York, New York, United States. Famous for his hit 1983 single ‘Break My Stride,’ he also charted in both the United States and the United Kingdom with his 1984 song ‘The Kid’s American.’ After ending his career as a singer, he became a producer for Kelly Clarkson, No Doubt, and other popular artists and bands.

At the very start of his music career, he sang backup vocals for Bette Midler.

Born in New York City, Wilder was one-half of the Greenwich Village folk group Matthew & Peter in the 1970s. In 1978 he moved to Los Angeles, California, and sang for television commercials and as a backing vocalist for Rickie Lee Jones and Bette Midler.

Wilder’s debut album, I Don’t Speak the Language (1983), reached #49 on the Billboard 200, fueled by “Break My Stride”. Wilder had some continued success with the single “The Kid’s American”, which reached #33 in 1984, but the single failed to match the success of “Break My Stride”. Wilder’s second album, Bouncin’ Off the Walls (1984), failed to gain much momentum—even with an innovative music video for the single “Bouncin’ Off the Walls”, with only the title track making the charts (No. 52), and was subsequently deemed a commercial failure.

He was born and raised in New York City.
