Early life:

Raised in Dothan, Alabama. At age nine, Allen’s parents separated and a few months later his father attempted suicide. Allen’s father, who was formerly a soldier in the United States Army Reserves, abandoned Matchstik’s family, leaving his mother to raise him and his siblings on her own. Without a father figure in his life, Matchstik found a home in the streets. It wasn’t long before Matchstik himself began selling drugs. Then, after his third arrest at age 16, Allen realized he had to turn his life around. Determined not to be a victim of his circumstances, Allen left the street life behind, dropped out of high school and obtained his G.E.D. He also went on to attend college, and subsequently joined the Navy at age 20. During his journey across the country, Allen had a near fatal car crash when his best friend tried to kill himself and Allen by grabbing the steering wheel and hitting a tractor-trailer as he & Matchstik were traveling to San Diego.

Naval career:

Allen Forrest attended boot camp at The Naval Station, Great Lakes, IL, starting in 2001. After completing boot camp, he attended CTR school at Corry Station in Pensacola, FL. Later, he crossed over to an Operation Specialist to be stationed on the USS Pinckney DDG 91. Upon completing four years of service in the Navy and receiving an honorable discharge and several commendations--including a Good Conduct Medal--he decided to leave the Navy and follow his musical aspirations on the West Coast.
