From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Matt Aitken (born August 25, 1956) in Coventry England, is a British songwriter and record producer, brought up in Astley, Greater Manchester, best known as being the creative force behind the 1980s songwriting/production trio Stock Aitken Waterman.

He began his musical career as a musician and had been a member of many different bands before teaming up with Mike Stock to write and produce music for other artists. They both later teamed up with Pete Waterman and they went from small independent labels to the major RCA, producing a myriad of hits.

After the partnership split up in the early-1990s, Aitken went into a period of retirement, raising a family and enjoying life. However, he has since returned to the music business.
