As a member of the Blow Waves, Doll explained the use of pseudonyms to Nick Bond of Star Observer, "They're all just nicknames. Mine's Matt Doll because of my last band, The B-Dolls…" In 2011 he co-wrote the Jane Badler album Opus with Byron St. John (of the Blow Waves). Badler covered his song, "Volcano Boy", for her album.
