Northern Cali raised with a conscious spin, Matthew Balling's music reflects his Sacramento Valley, Bay roots, and Foothill upbringings. Story telling with a strong message, organic lyricism from the heart is what you'll find in his music. Matthew was raised by his mother who is a painter. Matthew took up painting, and does that on the side. Painting is something that has helped him in graphic design, making his own clothes, and editing his music video's. Matthew spends a lot of his time on the engineering side, recording and mixing other artist's music as he runs two studio's. One of his studio's offers recording time and mixing lessons for teen's and young adults in the community, coming out of juvenile hall, also serving kids in group homes and foster care. The studio is called the i 4 C music program (Influencers 4 Change - Collectively Cultivating Change through Consistent relationship building).
