During his childhood, he learned to play the piano and accordion. Matić graduated from the Zemun Gymnasium and the Music High School 'Kosta Manojlović'. He has cited Croatian singer-songwriter Oliver Dragojević as his musical influence.

Matić has collaborated with various regional singers, including Ceca, Severina, Jelena Karleuša, Aca Lukas, Mile Kitić, Jelena Rozga and Milica Pavlović.

Since March 2016, Matić has held several sold-out solo concerts at the Belgrade Arena. He has also had regional, as well as international tours in the United States, Canada and Australia. In 2023, it was reported that Matić was the highest attended live act in 2022, Croatia with his four concerts at the Arena Zagreb and Spaladium Arena, which were collectively attended by 80,000 people.
