Matt Pinfield is recovering from a stroke.

The beloved radio veteran and television personality suffered a stroke in Los Angeles on January 6. He is “stabilized and resting,” according to a report from Loudwire, and surrounded by family and loved ones while receiving care.

(Yesterday, January 27, TMZ published a story detailing his situation.)

I met Matt during my second of four auditions for a job at MTV News in 1999 at 1515 Broadway. After we talked casually at some length about bands we love, I overheard him tell the brass that “this guy knows his shit.” It was a small moment for him but pivotal in my life and career, and I’ve never forgotten it.

After leaving MTV, Matt hosted Farmclub on the USA Network and worked in A&R at Columbia from 2001 to 2006. More recently, he became an afternoon DJ on KCSN-FM. He is also a co-host of the Power Hour, which aired on AXS TV.

About two years ago, I ran into him when we were both invited to be in an Ice Nine Kills music video (I played the bailiff in a courtroom scene; Matt was a jury member). As always, he was gracious, funny, passionate, and kind.

Sending all of my best wishes to Matt and his loved ones as he recovers.
