MAT 213

Digital singer-songwriter of Generation Z

He first played in the band See You, Inside, moving between noise pop and krautrock, where he sang in English. Later he decided to give more space to his Czech-language lyrics and melodic lines, and turned his focus to solo work. He channelled this into his debut album Forest Behind Prague, released in 2021. In 2022 he made a big impression with the single 7teen, for which he won the Apollo Award for Best Single and the title of Discovery of the Year at the Vinyla Awards. Matěj is a graduate of the painting studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague.
