Shepherd Matema (Questary) is a Producer & Composer Shepherd Matema (Questary) is a Producer & Composer from South Africa.

Born on the 14th of January 2005

Questary began mastering the art of composing and producing music in 2018 after 2 years of learning and constructing tracks from sample packs he got from fellow friends and producers, he released his first track "1980s Detective" after 10 months he released his first official track in march of 2021 called "She My Little Feak" which was a collaboration track made w

ith "Tony Production" & "King Kendrick"

Questary's main music genre is Hip-Hop, A genre he grew up listening to which fueled his passion for creating music. After the succesful release of his first single he kept working on his composition skills by making remixes and edits of music he loved listening to such as Nasty c's "Jack" and A Reece's "Paradise", these remix projects would help him improve and bring his level up to those of his music idol 20syl

As he started working more and more on his craft he took on more remixing projects with his biggest one being the remix of 20syl's "36 Beats & Types" a 36 track album consisting of electronic tracks all the time length of 1 minute, Questary Remixed & extended each track and uploaded it on Youtube which grew his fanbase to thousands as it gained 20 Thousand views collectively on Youtube. As 2022 arrived Questary released his second single on The 14th of February called "The Message" which was a sampled track created in memory of "Derek Lawrence" a 1970s producer from the UK, who sadly passed away and leaving his work out there for producers and composers to use in their own projects. Questary's then released his first EP on The 30th of October 2022 called "The Blood Mixtape" a collection of five tracks, All different versions of HipHop and Questary's first release under his own Record Label and Imprint known as "RatiQuest"
The blood mixtape gained massive support on Soundcloud gathering big numbers in both streams and sales. After taking a break from creating music he decided to end the year by releasing 2 major singles the first one was "ONAKO" which was a birthday gift and present to a close friend Questary got from 10th grade, the track was named after his friend and the album cover is a artistic picture of her looking at a african painting

The second release was called "Miss Skyzzi" a HipHop/Trap instrumental made using the sample from a popular russian track from 2016, The track became Questary's biggest release to date gaining major plays and downloads all over his socials.

Spotify wrapped for Questary.
It's been a quiet year, only one release the entire year yet my numbers equal that of the previous year. I am growing and I am happy for that. Thanks to those who supported me, shown so much support throughout the 2 years I have been releasing music. You guys make this possible and I plan to not disappoint.
2024 brings more to the table. More music, more content and consistency like never before, I plan on doing more than I ever did before and that's a promise.

Black and White.
The official colors of RatiQuest and Questary.
End of year music currently pending more on that on my website.

20/10/2023

After a long careful consideration I decided to go back to my original colour scheme before the releases of Golden Cartel and Zesi.
Both had their own colour schemes that helped push these songs. But it was all an experiment and I realised that my colourless branding was the best for me🤷‍♂️ many would probably say that colour is what works but I do not really see myself rocking colours in whatever I wear or possess.
So with that I am going back to the B&W ways.
Black and White all around with different accent colours depending on what would be released that day.
Now I am not going completely colourless I trust myself to change things up here and there but for now this is my style.

20/10/2023

It's been 5 months since I inherited the gold and black branding. It was a very interesting colour scheme as it was connected to all my artwork so far. But it's time to return to the official colour. Black and white is the TRUE combination that I intended to use when starting of my career and I am going back to it

RatiQuest is officially going gold, after heavy planning on my end I came up with a system that will help push RatiQuest to the moon.
