MATTO COLE


Matto’s dream of becoming an international music artist started at the age of 7 when she first started singing. Influenced by her mum who was a singer and song writer, Matto started singing as most young girls do, using anything she could find as her pretend microphone. Taking inspiration from a Jamaican artist, Lady Patra, Matto named herself Lady Matto. Matto would sing at school and at home, but she took singing a step further when she wrote her first song “Mi Paddy” with the help of her mum. This track secured Matto a record deal with the Paradise Family (Jimmy Bee) and within four months, this track became a big hit in Sierra Leone.

Matto relocated to the UK and struggled to find the right studio for her style. She spent some time embracing the new culture and learning the different musical sounds and this was put into her first album “Together” in 2010. The song “Together” was a hit in the UK as it appealed to an audience other than Salone beats, but when she brought the song back to Sierra Leone, it wasn’t accepted because it was of a different genre. This was when Matto began working with Jada Vizzle. Messing around in Mercury Records studio in Sierra Leone one day, Jada created a crazy beat that Matto fell in love with; this was the making of her hit track “Oba”. With the high tempo of “Oba”, Matto was pushed out of her comfort zone and in to a new dimension of her music; this is why Oba starts with the line “I never thought that I could do a thing like this”. Oba was well received by Matto’s fans which prompted her to begin working on her album. This album was self-titled Matto as part of a rebranding campaign from Lady Matto to Matto.
