Matt J. Alonzo (born April 16, 1985), is an American music video director and editor. He was born and raised in Carpinteria, California. He has directed and edited music videos for chart-topping R&B, rap, and rock artists.

Early life

Alonzo grew up in a blue-collar family. His passion for films came at the early age of nine, as he began to experiment with the camera and creating short films. After realizing his talent as a film maker while in high school, Alonzo chose to continue his education at Brooks Institute, developing professional skills in editing and directing.[1]

Directing career

Alonzo directed and edited a Lil Wayne "Gossip" concert music video that he placed online at YouTube. The video was viewed over 10 million times. He then linked up with DJ Skee at Skee.TV and became a partner in the company.[2] In early 2011, Alonzo left Skee.TV and started his own production company Modern Artists Creative.[3]

Alonzo began to achieve more and more praise for his music videos which has now led to numerous videos claiming upwards of 100 million viewers combined for such artists as Soulja Boy, Ice Cube, Pitbull, New Boyz, The Game, Chris Cornell, The Clipse, Cypress Hill, Xzibit, Far East Movement and more.[citation needed] Alonzo's "Like A G6" music video for Far East Movement was nominated for a MTV Japan VMA under the category for Best Hip-Hop Music Video.[4]

In late 2010, Alonzo signed with International Creative Management for feature film representation.[5]
