Resilience trumps trauma in song released by Lakeside High grad

The memories of a little boy who grew up too fast are still vivid in Lucky Matt's mind. The little boy witnessed alcoholism and domestic violence. His dad was absent, away and incarcerated. His mom was in an abusive, toxic relationship.

Although that little boy saw and heard too much at a tender young age, it's that very trauma that set Matt on his path to break the cycle. "I just want to change that way of life so my kids don’t live like that and my kids’ kids don’t live like that," Matt, 20, of Worley, said Tuesday. The 2024 Lakeside High School graduate harnessed the pain of his younger years and used his creative talents to weave a profound story of hope in his new song, "Cycle Breaker," which released Jan. 1.
