Matthew Farner.

Matthew Farner, professionally known as Matty Ice 1990, is a songwriter and rapper from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania whose music is rooted in lived experience and hard-earned transformation.

Raised in an environment shaped by violence and trauma, Matty turned to the streets at a young age, using drugs and dealing as a way to cope with the weight of his reality. His journey eventually led to incarceration — where poetry became his first form of healing. Behind prison walls, he began writing to process pain, regret, and survival.

It was during rehab, after choosing sobriety, that Matty discovered his true calling. Music became more than expression — it became purpose.

Now clean and focused, Matty Ice 1990 uses his voice to tell unfiltered stories of trauma, addiction, prison, and resilience. His lyrics reflect growth, accountability, and the determination to inspire those still fighting their battles.

Through willingness, dedication, and persistence, Matty continues to rise — committed to changing the world one listener at a time.
