Matt shares personal stories of success, failure, addiction, and hope challenging others to make decisions that will positively impact their lives and future generations. Born and raised in Long Island, New York, Matt discovered his natural ability in freestyle rap as a teenager. With newfound opportunities and success also came a vicious cycle of drug addiction and alcohol dependence that left him feeling trapped in a lifestyle of destructive choices. Reaching rock bottom, Matt came to the end of himself, where he ultimately found his TRUE PURPOSE and the courage to “Start Over” with a “Clean Slate”. With a new mission and positive message, Matt has recorded multiple songs available on Spotify, YouTube, Apple I-Tunes and many other music platforms.
In 2012, Matt founded Clean Slate Living, a nonprofit organization that he now runs with his wife Melissa. The mission of Clean Slate Living is to reach youth and young adults with a hope-filled message on how to break generational patterns of self-destruction and discover your true purpose in life. With original, culturally relevant music and media content, Matt and Melissa have a natural talent for connecting with young women and men on their level showing them by example they can “Rewrite Tomorrow”.
