Along business partner Kerwin Du Bois they both operate “HP (High Performance) Studios”. There he produces not only superb music but seizes the opportunity to assist the young people within his community so that they as well can realize their dreams and passions as he has done. He realised “Going with the Flow” which is composed with a beautiful acoustic riddim. The powerful lyrics are blended with a harmonious melody that illuminates the subject of relationships. “I like the kind of music where you’re driving down the road just staring into oblivion because you’re totally swept up by the song. That’s the kind of music I want to write- something that puts you in a trance. Feel-good party songs often make people dance and have a good time, but music means much more when there’s another dimension to go along with it.”
Born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago Matthews always has the support of his parents who have tirelessly endorsed his love and passion for music.

“our audience comes from everywhere,” he says.”Young, old, rich, poor. They know that music gives a voice to many who never had one, and now that we got their attention, I want to communicate the music so that it creates the greatest impact. So that it sticks. Anything that I’ve ever approached, I’ve had one goal in mind and that is to make great music that the world will enjoy and be a great success for years to come. “ DON’T EVER FORGET THE ALMIGHTY GOD THOUGH HIM EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
