Born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden in Norsborg which is considered one of the rougher parts of Stockholm, he started his career quite late because of the view his peers had on theater. This did not deter Matez from following his dream to become an actor, because as soon as he moved to the U.S. he attended college and stood between a choice of taking theater class or an extra curricular activity. Straight away he saw it as his opportunity to follow a dream that since long had been lost. Ever since that day his passion and love for theater has guided him towards his goal to become one with his idols. This has already been noted in the Swedish Film industry by critically acclaimed directors.
