Matthew James Sinclair

Matthew James Sinclair aka “Matty Raw”, 30, of West Palm Beach, Florida, unexpectedly and suddenly passed away on November 21, 2019.

Matty was born on April 28, 1989, in Stratford, New Jersey. He originally resided in Marlton, New Jersey, and moved to Trevose, Pennsylvania, in 2000 and attended school in the Neshaminy District.

Matty loved singing, making “beats”, and performing live for his family since he was a young boy. He pursued his dreams of becoming a musician and rap artist and in collaboration with his loyal friends and “bruhhs”, created the PAPER POLITICIANS label and developed a world-wide following through his public music release on major platforms.

Matty loved being free to travel and roam in the outdoors, getting good vibes and inspiration from the ocean, surfing, snowboarding, dirt biking, fishing, and surprising his family and friends with spontaneous pop-up visits after midnight. Most importantly, Matty lived his life by the motto “If I have it, then you have it”. Matty loved, cherished, and supported his family and friends in any way he could. He wanted everyone to succeed in chasing their own dreams. Matty lived loud and large, loyalty was everything. That is the legacy he will leave behind.

Matty was preceded in death by his maternal grandmother, Jeanette Demarest (Lynn), his maternal uncle, Dean Demarest, his maternal infant uncle, Ricky Demarest as well as his close childhood friend, Michael O’Neill.
