Matt Skiba is an American guitarist and singer (born on February 24, 1976, in Chicago, Illinois) most recognized as a member of the punk bands Alkaline Trio and blink-182.

He started Alkaline Trio in 1996 after dropping out of art school and released their first demo alongside drummer Glenn Porter and bassist Rob Doran.

The band kept strong and constantly releasing music through the years but in 2015 Matt would get involved in another project: blink-182. After the second departure of founding member Tom DeLonge, Matt quickly came in as a replacement. The band was briefly known as “blink-182 with Matt Skiba” until he later joined them permanently in July of that same year.
