D.Matthews is known for his idiosyncratic style and abundant charisma and inspires an audience through his stimulating lyrics and lively blend of Afrobeat/Afopop & Rap. He cites Afrobeat music pioneer & singer, Fela Kuti, Burna Boy & Patoranking as his inspiration which takes him to higher grace in lyric writing.

Born in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria, D.Matthews knew he was destined to entertain from a very young age during his times at church but did not realize how destined he really was to make a change/shift at a very young age as everything was still new to him at the time. As he grew older, he went on to take music as a career at age, 20. Releasing his first track in the year, 2018.
