Born in Southeast London, Matthew's family moved back to Jamaica where he lived until he was 13. His family then returned to London so that he and his brother Jordan could continue their education.

His father, Jamaican reggae superstar Jack Radics, has been making music for over two decades. While living in London, Matthew listened to a variety of music types, Indie and Rock, but mainly Hip-Hop and R&B. Matthew and Jordan met Ebow, the third member of SK while attending high school in London. They became friends and have shared their similar interests in music ever since. Matthew is a member of the National Youth Theatre and attended the Brit School for Performing Arts where he studied Theatre. During that time he did a few acting roles, one of them for the BBC. After finishing college, Matthew decided he wanted to spend some time in Jamaica to get a change of environment as well as work on music with his father. After spending some time there, he decided to return to London to pursue further career opportunities. He linked up with younger brother Jordan, who had become a member of Lotek Hi-Fi and Focused Few to make music. Matthew, Jordan and Ebow decided to begin their own project after working with Focused Few a few months, and SK was born. Matthew has been singing, rapping, writing and producing with SK, Focused Few, and Hot HeadZ. He hopes for a long, successful and creative career in the entertainment industry.

As every other teenager, Jay used to listen to a variety of music but was mainly influenced by his father reggae superstar Jack Radics. In summer 2000, Jay linked up with Ebow Graham [metropolis from foreign beggars] who introduced him into underground Hip-Hop. When Jay began to listen to underground Hip-Hop, his mind opened up and he began to eat, sleep, and live with the underground sounds. Things rapidly changed when he discovered UK Hip-Hop, with artists such as Roots Manuva who he later went on to do work with and Rodney P. He realized at that point that he wanted to become an MC. Jay began to freestyle regularly and write raps daily. It was not long before he started working with independent Hip-Hop band the Focused Few and soon became a lead vocalist. During this time Jay began to write/produce a number of tracks from beats to lyrics, as well as many live performances. In early 2002, Jay met producer/rapper Lotek, who later formed Lotek Hi-Fi, a group which signed to ninja tunes Big Dada label to release both the self titled Lotek Hi Fi mini alum and Mixed blessings full length album amongst other releases which are available from big dada. More live shows in the UK and also in other foreign countries. By 2003 Jay had gathered enough equipment to say he had a studio and was working with musicians from Focused Few on a regular basis for joint projects, producing independent group the SK a group formed by getting together with his brother Matthew and friend Ebow, as well as future projects. Jay soon left both Lotek Hifi and focused few to concentrate on the group SK, by this time Ebow had left the group SK, soon after the release of the Take it off 12” record which was released and is available on Dented Records. Right now he has relocated to Jamaica and has set up studio once again after being involved with various projects from his own to the Governo Sombra organisation and even as far as working with platinum selling artists such as Gentleman behind the scenes at different levels of production and also at stage shows.
