Matías Roden

Born in the UK, raised in Peru, and based in Vancouver, Canada, Matías Roden weaves global influences into a distinct synth-pop tapestry that examines identity, queerness, and the restless search for meaning. His 2024 debut The Plea, produced by acclaimed writer-producer Louise Burns (Orville Peck, Hotel Mira) earned CBC radio acclaim for the single ‘Close Your Eyes’ and led to numerous festival appearances, helping cement his place within the underground queer pop community. With his full-length debut album arriving in fall 2025, Roden continues to chase unflinching honesty in all its heartbreaking, hopeful forms.
