Different

Atlanta-based rapper Matrell brings a high-energy flow, slick bars and bags of charm to the Gen Z hip-hop landscape.
 
Born to a Black father and mixed-race mother (with French, Italian, Lebanese and Ivorian roots), Matrell began making music in eighth grade, crafting beats and recording songs after school. He credits his music producer father for encouraging him to make music: “My dad had me in front of the piano before I could even walk. I’d go to the studio with him as a kid. He taught me how to make beats. I gravitated towards it, realized it came naturally to me, and I kept going.”
 
Since he makes his own beats, records his own vocals and pens his own bars, Matrell belongs to the self-made legion of multi-creative artists making music on their own terms. The ambitious young rapper says: “I like growth in my music. I always wanna get my ideas out. When I make a song, I’ll usually start out making the beat, and out of nowhere, the rest will come to me.”
 
 
The future is bright for this ambitious young rap star. Matrell’s debut single, ‘Birkin’, is now available at his website (www.matrellworld.com) and on all streaming platforms.
