Matty White
Matty White is a Manchester-based presenter, broadcaster, DJ and live event host whose career has spanned radio, television and some of the city’s biggest stages. Known for his warmth, humour and distinctly Mancunian perspective, he's built his reputation by being unapologetically himself, something he credits as central to the way he connects with audiences.
His journey into broadcasting was far from conventional. After experiencing homelessness when he was younger, Matty was supported into accommodation, found work in hospitality and later went on to college and university before finding his way into the BBC and media. He now uses his platform to champion Manchester, support homelessness charities and highlight the stories of everyday people, believing that some of the most powerful stories are found away from celebrity culture.
Matty joins TEDxNorthernQuarter as the event MC, bringing his experience, humour and love of Manchester to the TEDx stage.
