The Specimen is the brainchild of songwriter/singer/and multi-instrumentalist Matt Gorny, who spent his childhood in Poland, under the protection of the communist bloc. When he was eleven, Gorny’s family moved to NYC's multicultural oasis – Brooklyn.

He eventually found his way into the clutches of Grammy Award winning production team GoodandEvil (aka Danny Blume and Chris Castagno) who worked with an array of diverse artists such as Felix Da Housecat, B-52’s, Kelis, Naty Botero, Beyonce and Ludacris.

The Specimen has collaborated as guest vocalist on various projects scheduled for release in 2008 including Risqué, Solitaire and Craig C. and has been writing songs with Zoned Out for a Jill Jones release. The Specimen has won multiple songwriting awards including The John Lennon Songwriting Contest and Billboard World Song Contest and the group has performed the winning track at the 15th Annual Billboard World Song Contest Awards Show.

Do U Damage video has been screened at the 2008 SXSW Film Festival and has already won the top prize in the New Music Video Awards.
