Crimson Symphony

Google+ is finally going away...

It has been a privilege to be a part of this awesome social experience. I have to say that I'm really bummed.

That said, I am proud to announce the release of my 1st song on all streaming platforms on April 25th, 2019! Crimson Symphony - Dream

Heya everyone! This was just released! What do you guys think?

Oz Fox (Guitarist for Stryper) and Annie Lobert need some help. Please help a fellow musician (and great person) out. He does not have health insurance to cover the expenses. PS Oz is one of the main reasons I started this podcast - he was my 1st guest (on youtube) and is a personal friend who has supported my music career greatly. Matt

My co-host and partner Amanda Bocchi recently launched her Pledgemusic campaign to complete her 2nd album. The album is a memoir of the 10 years she struggled with Heroin. Clean for 2 years, she is taking her music and message of hope and revovery out to the people with this album. This is a campaign worth supporting. Take a look and see for yourself. ;) www.amandabocchi.com/pledgemusic

Is there job security as a musician? If you define being in a band as someone who plays a few low paying gigs a week, then yes, there is job security. If you want to make bank, and do what everyone else is doing? Then, no, there is no job security. Too much competition. Someone will take your spot.

The key is to focus on opportunities outside of traditional methods. No competition means security. What skill or knowledge do you have to brand with your music. Go serve those customers Inside of that niche and you will create your own security. It could be anything from Crafters to surfers. Where are your people?

I just spent the last year exclusively playing through my Mesa tube amp with zero effects. Game changer in my playing and tone. http://www.mesaboogie.com/artist/matt-gibson.html

If you are an artist or musician, you absolutely NEED to listen to this recent interview I did with Grant Cardone​ http://www.kingdomofrock.com/grant-cardone-10x-why-artists-are-starving-episode-50/

Just had a nice long discussion with Uncle G aka Grant Cardone about Why Artists are Starving. One (of the many) interesting thoughts Grant shared is that he sees himself as an artist just like Amanda Bocchi and I. He is an entrepreneur playing a part to benefit others and his business. If obscurity is the biggest hurdle for artists (and it IS), improving your social media "show" is really important.
