With Mattiel Brown at the forefront, Mattiel comes complete with a band alongside Jonah Swilley, Travis
Murphy and Jordan Manley. Good old fashioned retro rock ‘n’ roll chic endorsed by the likes of Jack
White, Mattiel oozes substance in the raucous nature of the tracks, layered with an understated velvet-rich
tone from the vocals. These blend to evoke an old-world storytelling that combines itself with what seems
to have become a trademark Mattiel cheekiness. Second album Satis Factory continues Mattiel’s journey
and take on a self-progression beyond repetition and fully realising your potential without settling.
Outside of the music, Mattiel’s background in visuals come to play in the form of art direction and stylistic
endeavours both in music videos and photo shoots. It is also refreshing that as the world dives into the
throes of ‘woke’ culture and the derivatives that come with gender constructs, that this is just the way
Mattiel feels in expressing herself. An authenticity to be and feel who you are, and a reminder that we all
should reach for this as the norm.
