Natif de Maliotenam, une communauté innue de la Côte-Nord du Québec, Matiu est un auteur-compositeur-interprète qui se démarque avec son folk-blues en français et en innu. Après un premier EP en 2017 et l’album Petikat en 2018, il lance Tipatshimushtunan en 2022, réalisé par Louis-Jean Cormier. Accompagné de musiciens d’exception, il livre sur scène un spectacle aussi festif que touchant, teinté d’humour et de sensibilité. À travers des textes inspirés de son quotidien, de sa communauté et de la quête identitaire autochtone, Matiu touche le public avec authenticité et énergie.
Reconnu pour ses prestations marquantes, Matiu a foulé les scènes du Québec, du Canada, d’Europe, du Texas et de l’Afrique, participant à de nombreux festivals dont les Francos de Montréal, le FEQ, le FME, et Le Festif! Il a aussi été invité à des événements en ligne d’envergure et s’est produit dans plusieurs vitrines professionnelles comme le ROSEQ, Contact Ontarois, Coup de cœur francophone et RIDEAU. Son parcours, porté par des prestations télé et médiatiques remarquées, témoigne de la place unique qu’il occupe dans la scène musicale francophone actuelle.
