Matt Kilmer has been the recipient of numerous awards and honors including being named a Carnegie Hall Weill Music Institute fellow. He has produced albums for many contemporary artists and is an in-demand session drummer and percussionist as well as a highly sought after live musician for touring acts such as Grammy award winning artist Lauryn Hill and master Arabic oudist and violinist Simon Shaheen.  He also composed and produced music for the upcoming feature film "Backwards" to be released fall of 2012. His band The Mast recently released "UpUpUp", an EP with remixes to critical acclaim. "UpUpUp" follows The Mast's debut album "Wild Poppies", released in summer of 2011.

As Music Coordinator for the critically acclaimed TV show "Louie", Kilmer has helped to shape the sonic landscape of contemporary television.  Deviating from the standard fare of stock-soundtrack and flavor-of-the-month song licensing, the music of "Louie" features all real musicians providing an emotionally charged score that complements the single camera show's unique blend of everyday ordeals and observational humor as seen through the eyes of Emmy Award-winning comedian Louis C.K.
