Matoma Releases debut documentatry: One In A Million
Matoma one of the biggest Tropical House DJs on the scene. He comes from a small town in Norway and his story is very unique. His life was turned upside down when he uploaded his remixes online and they generated millions of plays.
One In A Million captures Tom’s inspiring approach to the electronic dance music scene. Director Tobias Froystad spent two years on the road with Matoma caputing every little detail of touring and the recording process and the life of a DJ.
“The nice thing about Tom is that he is very open by nature and gave me no limits on what could not be filmed,” Director Tobias Frøystad says of working with Tom. “We all have seen music documentaries before where the artist and their story are polished to build the right image for the artist. I wanted full creative freedom and access, as I saw this as a necessity for the movie to be as real as possible, something I am very grateful for.
