Mattiel

Mattiel is a designer and musician from Atlanta, Georgia. Born and raised in Georgia, she grew up on her mother's farm where she had the freedom to explore various interests. During her teenage years, Mattiel found solace in her mother's record collection which consisted of albums by 60s psyche-pop troubadours Donovan, Peter Paul and Mary, and the experimental pop of The Monkees. She draws inspiration from artists such as Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Andre 3000, Marc Bolan, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, The Staple Singers and Jack White.

After relocating to Atlanta, Mattiel began collaborating with Randy Michael and Jonah Swilley. Drawing upon her background in visual design, she applied this methodology to her music writing process.
