Blind music producer and recording artist Mattmac has harnessed his melodic pop-trap beats and inspiring story, quickly establishing himself as ‘one to watch’ on the Canadian national scene with his debut album, 20\/20. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mattmac’s premiere release features poppy vocals combined with hard-hitting trap beats, and thoughtfully honest lyrics that give listeners a glimpse into the mind of a blind creative as he paints vivid sonic pictures of struggle, healing, celebrating love, family and life on the rez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to replicate the feeling of the album with its layers of sound, instruments, lyrics and inspiration from a visual perspective, I opted for a collag\u00e9 affect for Mattmac’s first official collection of work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actual package, cover, back and single artwork were created from a single, multi-layered canvas allowing me to hone in on areas that best represent certain songs, lyrical content or inspiring visuals, whilst doubling up as a single piece of artwork in itself, even allowing for the possibility to be revisited and continue to grow if need be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
