Matte S.S. Black, changed from Matt Jonas because of his Disassociation Identity Disorder (or what used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder) from his childhood abuse. This condition has been undiagnosed Mattes whole life as he has regressed to his childhood and other personalities often to help him cope. Matte's brain structure sits in between/next to autism, schizophrenia, indigenous shaman, mathematical genius, and his psychiatrist basically classed him as the artistic genius in the circle. This puts him in the .01% of the population that has access to a part of their brain most people don't even know to exist let alone use. Matte's artistic abilities are incredible, to say the least. The way he can connect with other people in other dimensions and learn in other realms and manifest some of these things in the third dimension is a rare gift according to his psychiatrist. Matte has always been told he is talented... that's not the case... he's gifted. Matte has quite a few personalities that help him create and cope in life. Sarah Scarletton, a 3 year old girl, (the S S part of Matte's name) was the first to emerge and is the most prominent. Matte usually dissociates to her first but other alters can be present or take over. Matte is writing a "journal" since his formal diagnosis as this helps him to recollect some of his childhood memories as painful and sickening as they might be, This is helping him to understand why his brain functions the way it does and why it's wired like that. Matte was voted #1 sign writer and Airbrush artist in Australia. But this is the worst title you could have in the art world as talentless crap that is drooled over and Matte is shunned. Quote from Matte "Dear artist, don't become a highly-skilled artist, it will cost you your career in the arts". Matte delves deep into the discrimination he has had to endure from left-brained, analytical, pretentious people running the arts in Australia. Matte has also developed a way of making instruments from just out of his head, there are no schematics or diagrams to when he built his drum kits and guitars, he just makes them from his ability to learn/see and bring back these abilities to manifest what he sees in his minds eye.
