Episode 07: Matt Russo - DJ to the Cosmos

Matt Russo defies categorization. He holds degrees from the University of Toronto in Jazz Guitar Performance, Astronomy and Physics, a Ph.D. in Astrophysics and a minor in Mathematics thrown in there for good measure. He has fronted a Hip Hop/Fusion band and is now a part of an indie pop group, RVNNERS. He develops sound-based planetarium shows, giving a voice to the cosmos and has a TED talk from last year on the subject that has been viewed 1.5 million times and is one of the coolest talks that I have ever seen. 


Matt juggles all of these projects and more while also finding time to be a lecturer at the University of Toronto and Seneca College and an advocate for science outreach. 


It’s hard for me to relate how excited I am that he is on Origins - enjoy!
