MATTHEWS, born Matthews Ntlele, is a South African singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for powerful, soul-stirring vocals, raw intensity, and genre-defying artistry. His ability to effortlessly transition from delicate melodies to commanding, full-throttle belts gives his music a sense of urgency, emotion, and undeniable presence.
His sound doesn’t fit neatly into one box. He writes and performs music that moves him, rather than following industry trends. For MATTHEWS, music is a deeply personal and spiritual experience, shaped by what's inspiring in the moment. He views the creative process as a way to translate emotion into melody, harmony, and lyrics, allowing them to work together like a symphony to communicate something greater than words alone.
MATTHEWS first gained recognition as a lead vocalist and songwriter, co-writing and performing on several RIAA-certified worship anthems, including Here As In Heaven (RIAA-Certified Platinum Single), Here As In Heaven (RIAA-Certified Platinum Album), Resurrecting (RIAA-Certified Gold Single), and Echo (RIAA-Certified Gold Single).
His guitar playing is woven throughout his work, complementing his signature powerhouse vocals. Beyond music, MATTHEWS is a creative visionary and a storyteller whose music captures the depth of struggle and the hope of change. His work is a testament to resilience, vulnerability, and faith, inviting listeners into an experience that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.
