Your Bio, Tell us about yourself

The Electric City (Scranton, PA) was once known for exciting, ambitious, and innovative ideas in the coal industry as well as early rail transportation in the early to mid 1900’s. Here in the new millennium once again we see The Electric City showing the same exciting and innovative ideas that led the way to success in the past.. This time it’s in the music and entertainment field, due largely (to pun intended) to the efforts of Marco Matis. In 1988 in Scranton (The Electric City) Pa unknown to most arrived a child with great dreams and goals. Seemingly from birth Marco Matis loved the hip-hop culture, music, and fashion. From listening to artists such as Biggie Smalls, NAS, Big Pun it inspired him to his true love, music. While attending West Scranton high school he was the funny, chubby kid that kept everyone laughing, it was here he was given the nick name KOOLAiD. However even then you could tell there was a something special about Marco (KOOLAiD) Matis it was his determination, work ethic and loyalty. , Traits that is uncommon in todays up and coming artists.
Since that time KOOLAiD has be steadily moving forward to his dream of being a Professional Recording Artists. On 11/20/11 he will be releasing his 6th mixed tape titled “The Take Over” on KOOLAiD’s own label Platinum Dime Records. This is his most passionate work to date, the disc is driven by his local fans favorite song “Up’s & Down’s” featuring local artist Royal. To promote the CD he will be performing 12/03/11 at the “Street Kings” event in the Ramada Inn located in Hazleton, PA. In addition he will be performing in Philadelphia at the Rain Lounge on 12/09/11. Also the video for the song “UP’s & DN’s is currently up and being received well via youtube.com.
KOOLAiD has over 50 live performances and 5 previous mixed CD efforts to his credit. Below is a brief listing of both:

KOOLAiD’s long term goal is to become a successful artist and entrepreneur. Once that is accomplished he looks forward to reaching back to his roots to show love, support, and appreciation to the people who had faith in him from the beginning. That would be first and foremost his mom and family. The following quote best describe the man behind the music. ““live each day to the fullest, so you don’t die with regret”.
