Matik

Matik is a Jamaican Reggae and Dancehall music performer, producer, and songwriter. Born in Kingston and raised in Ocho Rios, Jamaica prior to moving to Miami, Florida in his late teenage years, Matik is a true child of sound system culture. Growing up in the midst of his father’s weekly Krispy Disco Sound parties, thrown on the lawn behind his family’s patty and pastry shop in Ocho Rios’ Market Square, Matik is the real deal - Reggae music is in his blood.

Influenced by everything from the social inequities and injustices he witnessed as a youth in Jamaica, to his father’s Motown record collection, the classic roots and culture of his homeland, and Miami club life, Matik’s music is a unique blend of roots, party, and pop music. From straight Dancehall, to Roots and Lovers Rock, to Hip Hop-flavored party records, Matik brings something for everyone. Covering everything from socially conscious issues, to ganja anthems, and odes to Caribbean queens, Matik’s music speaks to today’s Roots Reggae revivalists, Marijuana activists, club-hoppers, college students, and festival-goers alike.
