Music

Before I got married and hyphenated my last name, I had to use a few pseudonyms to release my own music, starting with REDWARD in 2015 (which I later learned was taken by a Swedish DJ) and Mateo Edward in 2018 (what my mom often calls me plus my middle name). Please see the links below for the projects I released under both names!

as Mateo Edward (2018 – 2022)

Tales By Song Vol. 1 – 3 (Fantasy, Instrumental)

Long Night (Folk Rock, Singer-Songwriter)

As REDWARD (2015 – 2017)

Wild Days (Electronic, Singer-Songwriter)

REDWARD EP (Alt Rock, Singer-Songwriter)

Plays

Sheol (pdf)

A full-length play about a group of disparate souls tasked with watching a mysterious pit in the desert. This play was a finalist in the 2021 Scranton Scratch Night hosted by the Scranton Shakespeare Festival and Pinkhouse Productions. As part of the event, the first ten minutes of the play were given a staged reading via Zoom.

Waste (pdf)

A ten-minute play about a mobster trying to dump a body in a recycling bin only to be thwarted by a zealous recycling advocate. This play was given a staged reading as part of the 2019 Stage Writers Festival in Dallas.

Hello! My name is Matthew Wray-Martinez, and I am a writer and musician based in New York City.

I was born and raised in Katy, Texas, where I wrote my first songs in my freshman year of high school. At the University of North Texas, I earned my BA in Theatre Performance, and developed a love for writing plays and fiction along with music.

I am now working and writing as much as I can here in the big city. Please use the Contact tab to reach out!
