Matthew Schreuder

Matthew Schreuder (born 1971 in Canada) is a writer and rapper who goes by the street name "the Shredder", who lives in Sydney, Australia. In 2006 his verse novel 'Muscle' was short listed and highly commended in the annual 'The Australian'/Vogel Literary Award. 'Muscle' has been commended for offering originality and a very contemporary story of astute social observations. Its characters are drawn from a youth subculture of muscle car street racers, set against a future Sydney backdrop of social unrest similar to the 2005 Cronulla riots.

Matthew Schreuder has worked at Sydney's Barker College as an English teacher.
