Matthew the Bowgart

Matthew Edmunds (known on social media as Matthew the Bowgart) is a former American gaming, music, and animation YouTuber in the community of My Singing Monsters.
While his account was created in 2015, his channel didn’t begin until mid 2016 when joining the My Singing Monsters community. He has made gameplay videos with his mobile device on My Singing Monsters with commentary usually when the game gets an update. Sometimes he would also make gameplays of the prequel game My Singing Monsters: Dawn of Fire, the Nintendo spin-off My Singing Monsters: Playground, or other games unrelated to MSM like World of Goo, Minecraft, Fortnite, and ToonTown. Occasionally Matthew also made orchestral remixes and covers of songs from the game with also fanmade islands. Matthew also made animations with Moho Pro with the official MSM game rigs or rigs of his own, most notably his Kayna Singing lip-sync series. He was most known for his fanmade upcoming series Life in the Monster World before its cancellation.

Matthew is highly energetic when recording his videos, he would get very excited about new monsters especially if it’s something involving the monsters Bowgart or Kayna (as both are his favorite two monsters, with the former being his first). He would also shout anxiously or find himself in rage when something goes unpredictably wrong humorously, like breeding an ethereal monster by accident. 
==Retirement==
On August 5, 2023 Matthew had announced that he’s quitting YouTube and leaving the My Singing Monsters community due to defamation on social media of being falsely accused of inappropriate behavior. He’s officially abandoned his YouTube channel at 15.9K subscribers and 4,515,152 views. He’s even mentioned “the last years and especially this year hasn’t been very fun, and I need to leave for my own mental health and sanity.” He has also removed every single video as of October 2023 (except for his “Goodbye” video).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyEkPHU422A
