Matthew Jonathan Gordon Maltese (born 6 October 1997) is a British-Canadian[2][3] singer-songwriter and record producer.

[13] When he was a teenager Maltese began buying and selling vinyl and with the money he made, moved to Camden, London.

[15] The following year in 2017 Maltese released a single titled "As the World Caves In"[16] which as he shared in an interview, is about the idea of then-UK Prime Minister Theresa May and then-U.S. President Donald Trump, deciding to spend a night of romance together before triggering atomic warfare.

[20] In January 2023, it was certified Silver in the UK by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for selling 200,000 equivalent units.

[34][35] In March 2022 Maltese released a new song called "Smile In the Face of the Devil"[36] as a part of his new EP titled Quiet Recordings.

Maltese recorded a cover of "My Funny Valentine" for the 2025 tribute album Chet Baker Re:imagined.

Upon moving to South London, Maltese became immersed in the local music landscape, looking towards artists such as Loyle Carner and Alex Burney.

He named Vashti Bunyan, Flo Morrissey and Father John Misty as newer folk influences.
