Career
In 2007 Ronander released his first EP "Shake It Don't Break It" on Sidney Samson's label Samsobeats. In 2012 Funkin Matt came in touch with Fool's Gold Records boss A-Trak and went on to releasing "I Wish" on the Brooklyn based label.{{cite web|last1=Magnetic|title=STREAM: FUNKIN MATT "I WISH" VIA FOOL'S GOLD RECORDS|url=https://www.magneticmag.com/2012/11/stream-funkin-matt-i-wish-via-fools-gold-records|website=Magnetic|publisher=Magnetic Magazine|accessdate=6 December 2017}} This caught the attention of Tiesto which reached out to Ronander, prompting him to later release the "Alive" EP on Tiesto's Musical Freedom.{{cite web|last1=Broch|first1=Helene B.|title=Funkin' Matt – Tiësto and Diplo favourite maintains momentum|url=http://musicnorway.no/2014/06/24/funkin-matt-to-the-people/|website=Music Norway|publisher=Music Norway|accessdate=6 December 2017}}
