In his first-ever song entitled "Superheroes in disguise", 11-year-old Matthew Dino took inspiration from what he sees from his parents everyday.
The Western Sydney boy has started singing at a very young age. To pay tribute to frontliners like his parents, he wrote his first-ever song recognising the service of all those who selflessly sacrifice to care for the elderly and the sick.

The video was featured and can be viewed on the Western Sydney Health's social media. He also gained further attention for his song, even appearing in one of the television shows in Sydney a few weeks ago.
