Songwriting Matilda

Matilda Pablo started writing music during her freshman year of college, at Kent State University’s Music Technology program.

From funk to soulful folk, Matilda can convey a variety of tones which are prevalent in these artists. When writing, Matilda often creates characters for her songs, to make it feel less about herself, and more so about an experience anyone can relate to.

Additionally, she helped compose an upbeat mashup song, "How to Save an Iris," (“How to Save a Life,” by The Fray, and the Scary Pockets and Lauren Elliot's cover of, “Iris” by The Goo Goo Dolls) that was performed at the Kent State Stark Studio Ensemble Concert.
