Her first musical attempts began in 1996, at the age of twelve. A passion and fascination of music led her through many genres. Beginning with Hardcore, Trance, Psytrance, progressing though to experimenting with down tempo and Hip-Hop. 2001 she discovered the album ‘Clockwork’ by ‘Stakka and Skynet.’ Her journey with Drum and Bass music was born.
Matia has a unique style, not trying to follow anyone but rather prefers to walk her own path. With potential growing - her sound becoming ever more definitive.
She was discovered in November 2008 by Tony Colman of ‘Hospital Records’. They featured her soon to be debut hit ‘Beautiful Lies’ on the ‘London Electricity’ Podcast, later to be featured on the ‘Introducing’ BBC Radio1 show. After receiving a lot of attention from other producers, DJ’s and fans alike; ‘Beautiful Lies’ was released with great succession as an ‘A side’ on Hospital’s ‘Sick Music’ compilation album in June 2009, reaching the top 30 ‘iTunes UK Download Chart’ and making it into the top 5 ‘Beatport Drum and Bass Chart’. The tune soon became a major d&b hit, and is now considered classic among many.
Soon after, her track ‘Three Dots’ also received play from Tony and High Contrast on Radio1. Forthcoming releases in line, a full DJ schedule, with her first UK show in September 2009 at London’s 'Hospitality @Matter'.
For many, her coming out as transgender was also such surprise. She promotes tolerance, understanding and defends the minorities, in her actions and in music too. Recent example being her tune 'Past lessons for the future', a free track featuring words of great czech actor and philosopher Jan Werich.
Reflections
B-Complex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stirring the pot
Thinking you gave all that you got
Not really trapped in a maze see
You must've forgot who
Turning the page you
Who calling the shots
I need a little bit
That's inconsiderate
Just give me the guap
Ain't speaking knots I'm illiterate
I do this for block must've forgot
Not for self so ain't no way I'm gone flop
I'm a man of my words
But a man of my flaws
Want some actions reversed
After damage they caused
Who don't wanna rehearse
For when you get out the dark
I put my fears in a hearse
I put my tears in a jar
See I struggled a bit
Stumble don't trip
Nowadays it's your life
That's the cost of a slip
Putting caution to wind
I know my cause to the end
I'm a dog with no den
I made a home with the sin
You steady trapped in a maze
Stirring the pot
Thinking you gave all that you got
Not really trapped in a maze see
You must've forgot who
Turning the page you
Who calling the shots
I get it done
Eating all that I can ain't leaving crumbs
When they asking where I'm from
I lead a path into the dung
In the lab I'm super sav
Do the dash into the sun
On the humb no subtle brag
I ain't flashing just for fun I ain't wid it
Pulling strings like I'm knitting
See my grave in the distance
So I play my position like I was training Olympics
Homies going for gold
We ain't selling no souls
Track meet for the dough
Miss a step and you
You steady trapped in a maze
Stirring the pot
Thinking you gave all that you got
Not really trapped in a maze see
You must've forgot who
Turning the page you
Who calling the shots
You steady trapped in a maze
Stirring the pot
Thinking you gave all that you got
Not really trapped in a maze see
You must've forgot who
Turning the page you
Who calling the shots
The lyrics to B-Complex's song Reflections are about being trapped in a situation that feels like a maze.

The singer is a man of his words, but still a man with flaws. He is learning from his mistakes and putting his fears in a hearse and his tears in a jar. He has struggled a bit and stumbled, but now he knows that life is all about taking risks. He is a dog with no den, but has found a home with his sins. He is putting caution to the wind and knows his cause will lead him to the end. He has a mission, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to complete it.

You steady trapped in a maze
You feel stuck and lost, unable to find your way out
Stirring the pot
You're causing trouble or stirring up drama
Thinking you gave all that you got
You believe you've already done your best
Not really trapped in a maze see
But you're not actually lost and confused
You must've forgot who
Maybe you've forgotten who you are and what you're capable of
Turning the page you
It's time for you to take control of your situation
Who calling the shots
You need to be the one making decisions for yourself
I need a little bit
I don't need a lot, just a little help
I ain't wanting a lot
I'm not being greedy or demanding too much
That's inconsiderate
Asking for too much can be selfish and unthoughtful
Just give me the guap
But I do need to make money to survive
Ain't speaking knots I'm illiterate
I'm not trying to confuse anyone, I'm just not good with words
I do this for block must've forgot
I'm doing this for my community and maybe you've forgotten about our shared struggles
Not for self so ain't no way I'm gone flop
I'm doing this for others, so there's no way I'll fail
I'm a man of my words
I always keep my promises
But a man of my flaws
But I'm only human and I make mistakes

I want to fix any harm I've caused
After damage they caused
I want to make things right after the harm that others have done
Who don't wanna rehearse
Who wouldn't want to practice and prepare for a better future
For when you get out the dark
So that when we finally find the light, we'll be ready
I put my fears in a hearse
I bury my fears and move forward
I put my tears in a jar
I save my tears for a time when I can reflect and learn from them
See I struggled a bit
I faced challenges and difficulties
Stumble don't trip
I made mistakes, but I didn't let them stop me
Nowadays it's your life
Today, it's your life and your choices that matter
That's the cost of a slip
If you make a mistake or slip up, there are consequences
Putting caution to wind
But sometimes, you have to take risks and throw caution to the wind
I know my cause to the end
I'm committed and dedicated to my purpose and goals
I'm a dog with no den
I'm a lone wolf, wandering and exploring on my own
I made a home with the sin
I've embraced my mistakes and use them to guide me
I get it done
I'm determined to accomplish what I set out to do
Eating all that I can ain't leaving crumbs
I'm putting in a lot of effort and not wasting any opportunity
When they asking where I'm from
When people wonder about my background and what shaped me
I lead a path into the dung
I've come from difficult circumstances and used them to pave my own way
In the lab I'm super sav
I'm a genius in my own right
Do the dash into the sun
I'm moving fast towards my goals and success
On the humb no subtle brag
I'm confident in my abilities and don't need to brag about them
I ain't flashing just for fun I ain't wid it
I'm not wasting time on things that don't matter or aren't beneficial
Pulling strings like I'm knitting
I'm in control of my situation and making things happen
See my grave in the distance
I'm aware of my own mortality and how it motivates me to live my best life
So I play my position like I was training Olympics
I take my role seriously and give it my all, like an athlete training for the Olympics
Homies going for gold
My friends and I are all striving for success
We ain't selling no souls
But we won't compromise our values or morals to achieve it
Track meet for the dough
We're competing and working hard for financial gain
Miss a step and you
But if you slip up or make a mistake,
You steady trapped in a maze
You'll feel lost and stuck again
Stirring the pot
Causing trouble and drama
Thinking you gave all that you got
Feeling like you've already done your best
Not really trapped in a maze see
But we all have the power to change our situation
You must've forgot who
Maybe you've forgotten who you are and what you're capable of
Turning the page you
But it's time to take control and start fresh
Who calling the shots
You need to make your own decisions and be in charge
