MATTHEWS grew up in South Africa, and experienced the effects of Apartheid. His childhood was filled with places he wasn't allowed to go because of his skin color, and he had difficult family dynamics as well.  And yet, through it all, he found purpose in the darkness.  He now helps other people find their purpose in hard times, and creates  authentic, soulful music that reminds people that light can always be found even in the darkest moments.
