Cola Boyy, whose real name was Matthew Urango, heartbreakingly passed away peacefully on Sunday 17 March, his record label Record Makers have confirmed.
There has been no cause of death revealed for the singer and musician, who called himself a "disabled disco innovator". In a statement on X, formerly called Twitter, Record Makers wrote: "The one and only Cola Boyy a.k.a Matthew Urango has passed peacefully last Sunday. He was quite a soul, a man with no age, a childlike spirit with the musicality of an old legend.
His lyrics, his melodies, the sound of his voice: every side of his music was unique and timeless..." Cola's manager Jack Sills also paid tribute on Instagram: “Anyone who knew Matthew knows he had a larger than life personality. He was always the life of the party and could chop it up with anyone. He was also one of the most talented and down to earth people I’ve ever met.
"His humor and natural charisma endeared him to whoever he met. Matthew cared enormously for his family, friends and community which he often expressed through his music. He had just finished his next album and was excited to start releasing new music this summer.
I will continue to work with his family and @recordmakers to make sure this happens. Love you homie. Cola Boyy Forever!” The musician, who was born in Oxnard, California, had several spine conditions, including spina bifida, scoliosis, and kyphosis.
