His father is Tim Healy. He himself had no interest in acting but did appear as an extra in his parents' television shows including Coronation Street, Byker Grove, and Waterloo Road. His parents were music fans, introducing him to soul and Motown. Matty was a quiet child, with recurring vivid nightmares. He got his first drum kit when he was five and wanted to be a popstar. For the first twelve years of his life, he was an only child. Unlike his younger brother Louis, Matty "grew up in a party house" and has recalled sleeping "in the bar" of London's Groucho Club on numerous occasions. He has remembered this aspect of his childhood as "exciting" rather than "distressing". His parents both had issues with alcohol and his mother had depression, including postpartum. Privately educated at Lady Barn House School and King's School, Macclesfield, Matty was expelled from the latter for starting a fight club. He won a King's School talent contest at age 12, with renditions of songs by The La's and Oasis, and told a local newspaper he hoped "to be a pop singer" when he grew up. He then transferred to the local Wilmslow High School, where he met and befriended his bandmates Ross (on bass) George (on drums) and Adam (on guitar)")}
