Matmiie, born Matthew Ontiveros, is a 22-year-old rapper and singer from Austin, TX and Marion, IN, currently residing in Marion. He began recording music in 2016 and has been refining his craft ever since, blending Rap, Hip-Hop, and R&B into emotionally charged songs inspired by real-life trauma and personal growth. His artist name, a nickname from childhood, carries deep meaning—symbolizing the life-changing moment when his parents split at age two, represented by the Roman numeral “II” in “Matmiie.” Influenced early on by his cousin and father, Matmiie channels his pain and experiences into powerful lyrics meant to give listeners goosebumps. With tracks like “Soul Talk 2” dropping monthly and a hardhitting new release set for April 10, he’s building an impressive catalog from his home studio. He’s gained recognition through interviews, music videos in ATL, and stage time opening for artists like Wifisfuneral and Lightskin Keisha. Often compared to Mozzy, Meek Mill, and Millyz, Matmiie is on a mission to turn pain into purpose—putting his all into every verse.
