Meet Mati, an artist originally from Ethiopia but raised in South Minneapolis, who has recently made a name for himself with his debut EP, ‘Thoughts In Cursive.’ The EP includes “Immune,” a powerful track that truly reflects Mati’s introspective style of music. His mother’s gospel music influences Mati’s music, his father’s refugee journey, and the wisdom he has gained from his older siblings. After years of perfecting his craft, Mati is now ready to take the music world by storm.
“Immune” was created by Mati in response to the civil unrest that happened in Minneapolis after George Floyd’s murder. This track is very significant to Mati and his community, as they are still coming to terms with the aftermath of that time. Instead of using sensitive footage from that time, Mati worked with a visionary director to produce an entirely AI-generated music video. The result is a captivating visual journey that captures the chaotic emotions of that time.
Mati’s EP and music video showcase his artistic depth and ability to evoke powerful emotions, marking a thrilling milestone for this rising artist. Keep an eye out for Mati’s debut release, which promises to be a remarkable fusion of personal history and artistic vision.
