Early Life
Mateo Alexander Morrison Hidalgo was born on July 12, 1999, and raised in the Invivienda neighborhood of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Although his family wasn't musically inclined, his grandfather Mateo Morrison inspired him in writing lyrics, and with his guidance, he started to compose his own music. His father, Nelson Morrison Ramirez, is an engineer and his mother, Ramona Hidalgo Almonte, is a publicist. Maat spent his childhood with his mother, and then, because of some disagreements between his parents, they divorced in 2004. With divorced parents, and only five years old and living with his mother, life continued in Invivienda. Three years later, Mateo, his brother and his mother moved to Arroyo Hondo, where they had a small condo. One year later, at nine years old, his mother, in search of a fresh start, decided to move to New York and Maat moved with his father located in Arroyo Hondo. Maat started to write and record rap songs in 2010.
