Matthew Victor Kopp, who performs as Running Touch, is an Australian singer, songwriter and record producer.[2][3] In addition to his eponymous solo project, he was the founding guitarist of Australian nu metal band Ocean Grove in 2010, and since 2014 he is a studio-only member. He appears on their studio albums The Rhapsody Tapes (February 2017) and Flip Phone Fantasy (March 2020). He also contributed written material for Adult Art Club.

Career

[edit | edit source]

Running Touch's debut extended play, A Body Slow, was issued in April 2017 via Island Records Australia/Universal Music Australia, which peaked at No. 31 on the ARIA Digital Albums Chart and No. 1 on the related Hitseekers Albums Chart.[4] Kopp explained to Benjamin Potter of Beat magazine, his use of a pseudonym, "at the start it was all about a personal decision – I didn't want the project to be based on... what I look like, who I am, my past... I didn't think Running Touch was going to be so successful."[5] His single, "My Hands" (July 2018), which reached No. 12 on the ARIA Club Tracks Chart,[6] was certified gold by ARIA for shipment of 35000 units in Australia, in August 2019.[7]

In November 2018 he was featured on the single, "Better Together", by Hayden James. The track reached No. 63 on the ARIA Singles Chart,[8][9] placed number 78 in that year's Triple J Hottest 100. At the APRA Music Awards of 2020 Running Touch (as Matthew Kopp) won Most Performed Dance Work of the Year for "Better Together", which he co-wrote.[10]

In February 2022 Running Touch announced his debut album, Carmine, was scheduled for 6 May.[11]
