Emerging from the heart of the UK scene, Matt Lansky is a Nigerian British artist redefining what it means to create with honesty, emotion, and vision. His artistry extends beyond music it’s a reflection of his mind, his story, and his ability to turn vulnerability into power.
For Lansky, music began as an escape. Growing up, inspired by his older brother, he found comfort in melodies and rhythm from the early age of seven. What started as a means of retreat evolved into a deep form of self-expression and therapy. As an introvert, writing became his voice a way to connect with emotions too complex for conversation. That authenticity has since become the foundation of his artistry: when you hear Matt Lansky, you feel him. His sound isn’t just heard it speaks directly to the soul.
His latest body of work, The Red Room EP, is both intimate and cinematic. The four-track project gives listeners an unfiltered glimpse into a defining chapter of Lansky’s life. The title draws inspiration from H.G. Wells’ novel The Red Room a story about confronting one’s fears and escaping the confines of the mind. For Lansky, this metaphor becomes musical: each track peels back a layer of his journey toward self-discovery, freedom, and healing.
Through raw lyricism and vivid production, The Red Room captures the beauty and chaos of human emotion. It explores themes of pain, resilience, and reflection emotions that most people experience but rarely express so openly. The project’s sound blends soulful tones with a contemporary UK edge, solidifying Lansky’s reputation as a distinct voice in modern British music.
Lansky’s growth is not limited to his solo work. His appearance on Young Kingz II, particularly on the track “Street Therapy”, stands as a full-circle moment from being a listener of the first Young Kingz project in his youth to now featuring as a respected artist on its sequel. The collaboration reinforces Lansky’s evolution and the respect he’s earned within the scene.
With a growing online presence 2.1K followers on Instagram, 1.2K on TikTok, and a YouTube channel showcasing his visuals Lansky continues to expand his reach while staying true to his message. His visuals, often as introspective as his lyrics, build a complete artistic world for listeners to step into.
As Matt Lansky continues to evolve, his artistry stands as a reminder that music can heal, transform, and liberate. The Red Room isn’t just an EP it’s a personal manifesto about breaking free from the mind’s confines and sharing that journey with the world.
