Mini Biography
MattyB first became interested in hip hop music at the age of five. He said that he was drawn to the beats and right away wanted to take dance lessons! When his cousin Mars, a 19-year-old rapper, moved in with his family, he listened to Mars' music and rapped his lyrics to him. Matty pestered his cousin to help him write a rap and make a video so they finally did it. And he nailed it on his first try. In it's first week on YouTube, MattyB's rap video "Eenie Meenie" had over 500,000 views and made the front page!
He's covered hits by stars like Willow Smith, Kesha, Rihanna and Justin Bieber. He even rapped "Like a G6", complete with a music video where he wore purple shades, a leather jacket and danced around in front of a fancy car! He writes his own lyrics and even made a music video making fun of Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair" song!
MattyB travels all over America doing shows on the weekends and still manages to keep up with the schoolwork. He has now reached 5,180,342 subscribers to his channel and has over 1,5 billion views in total - He's taking voice lessons, acting and dancing lessons at the moment so keep your eyes peeled for MattyB on MTV.
