Matthew Scott King is the dynamic founder, DJ, and creative heartbeat behind Punky Cold Radio, a bold and boundary-pushing independent radio station known for its eclectic mix of punk, indie, underground, and alternative sounds. Originally based in sunny Florida, Matthew made a life-changing move to Duluth, Minnesota to be closer to his nearly 100-year-old grandfather, whose strength and spirit have long been a personal inspiration.

With a deep love for music that disrupts, inspires, and tells the truth, Matthew launched Punky Cold Radio as a platform for voices and genres that don’t always get mainstream airtime. He brings raw passion, a sharp ear, and DIY ethos to every broadcast, curating a listening experience that’s as real as it is rebellious.

Whether spinning vinyl, highlighting new underground acts, or sharing stories from the scene, Matthew brings his full self to the mic — honest, unfiltered, and fiercely devoted to the music and community that shaped him.
