With decades of experience, they've been honored as the Producers of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards, founded Royal Canoe, and collaborated with artists such as Ian Sweet, Morgxn, Undercover Dream Lovers

Matt Peters and Matt Schellenberg have been co-writing, and co-producing together for the last decade, originally as founding members of Royal Canoe. With deadmen, they’ve spent the last seven years writing and producing with artists around the globe. During writing residencies in Los Angeles, New York and London they worked with Gus Unger Hamilton (Alt J), Cakes da Killa, Ian Sweet, Begonia, Emily Wells, LaLa LaLa, Dan Mangan, Janelle Kroll, Liz Lawrence, Ashleigh Ball, Undercover Dream Lovers, Maddie Jay, Morgxn, Mouraine and others. They are currently based in Los Angles working out of their studio in Silverlake.

In 2016, the two Matts began their first project as a production duo, co-writing and co-producing the chart-topping and Juno-nominated Begonia album, Fear, alongside long-time collaborator, Alexa Dirks and Marcus Paquin (The National, Colin Stetson). They’ve collectively been nominated for three Juno awards, and won several Western Canadian Music Awards including most recently, Producer of the Year (2021).

deadmen specialize in listening, obviously to all things related to the music, but more specifically to an artist's vision, knowing the producer's role is to serve the song and that vision. They hope to provide an artist a space they feel safe to create in, and help focus their ideas into world-class work.
