Mattiel Brown is a softly-spoken, chilled-out design nerd turned rock & roll belter, performing bold, vintage soul as Mattiel (pronounced 'maa-TEEL'). Brown grew up on a five-acre farm in rural Brooks, Georgia, the only child of a Detroit native. As an adolescent, Brown delighted in the '60s folk and pop of her mother's limited vinyl collection: Donovan, Peter Paul and Mary, and Joan Baez. As an adult, relocated in neighbouring Atlanta, she'd sing along to the radio on the long drives to work: Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Andre 3000, Dylan, Marc Bolan, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and Jack White.
