We recently connected with Matthew Pena and have shared our conversation below.
Matthew, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know?
It was 2020 and all of us were in quarantine during that time. Most of my free time I would sing and create music on my computer with Pro Tools or Logic Pro. As time went on I started to enjoy and love the excitement and feeling of completing a song or project, but even before I started making my own music I would sing all the time and still do. My love for music has grown and will keep growing in the years to come.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
My name is Matthew Pena and I was born in McAllen, TX. For most of my life I would sing and perform then it was time for me to move for college. I moved up to San Antonio to attend UTSA to pursue a degree in Music Marketing. My craft or business is making music. My artist name is Mathias and I’m a Pop, RnB, and Rap artist. My music is available on every platform like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, etc, and my business is called Mathias Productions. What sets me apart from others is that my music is natural in a sense where everything is true and has emotions to it or tells a story of a memory. Each song has its own story to tell from my life and can also maybe connect to my fans. My music can also be unique in its own way. Not many songs of mine can’t be related to other songs because of its originality. Currently I am working on an album, but released a new single called “Tonight” which is now available on every platform. Album is almost done but many works will be coming out in the future, concerts in the near future, and who knows where I will go from there,
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
The most rewarding aspect is people loving your music. With my newer songs I get so much appreciation from people all around the world. When I see people love my music and share it, brings happiness to me and motivates me to do more.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
The goal for me is to become the best artist I can be, create masterpieces in the music industry, and see the world listen to my music and create memories and stories.
