Tom Stræte Lagergren born 29 May 1991, professionally known as Matoma, is a Norwegian DJ and record producer. Lagergren was born in Åsnes, Norway. He started playing the piano as a child. During that period, he won a contest to perform alongside Norwegian pianists Håvard Gimse and Leif Ove Andsnes. As he grew tired of classical piano, Lagergren began mixing on his computer.
