early life

Unlike most children, Matt Ox was not lucky enough to have two guardians. Shortly after Matt Ox was born, his father ended his marriage to his mother, and he was raised by his single mother, Laurel Grau.
Despite his creative talents, he was never a huge fan of academics. However, he showed a love for music from a very young age. This seemed to be supported by the fact that his mother and aunt were both big fans of Kendrick Lamar and Eminem. Today, Matt Ox is still a big fan of Eminem and Kendrick Lamar.
This wasn’t a quick path to his success. Matt Ox wrote and recorded several songs before becoming a famous social media personality. He uploaded most of his songs to SoundCloud; however, he later deleted all of them after realizing that they weren’t as polished as he had hoped.
Under the guidance of his uncle, a humble video producer, he had the opportunity to learn the various basics of music recording in his uncle’s recording studio.
Equipped with the essentials, a microphone and his mom’s MacBook PC, Matt Ox began recording and streaming melodies online.
In early 2017, he released his first album, OX, which became a huge success on SoundCloud. After the release, he met F1lthy, who introduced him to his band Working on Dying, which also features other famous producers such as Oogie Manei.
