Matthew Ebel’s Summary
Matthew's songs and stories resonate in the minds and hearts of an ever-increasing fan base. Ebel is also paving the way in the new music economy, showing that it is possible for indie artists to support themselves through their music; growing his audience by using new tools available to artists, and sharing what works and what doesn’t.
Reaction to his latest album, Goodbye Planet Earth, has been impressive, with Matthew earning radio play on over a dozen radio stations, and gathering glowing reviews on iTunes from satisfied customers. But it has been in the podcasting and blogging world where Matthew has shone the brightest, and his exposure there has allowed him to take his career to the next level.
He elaborates, “I want people to take my music and then go off and create something on their own. The greatest thrill for me is when people write blog posts based on my music or are inspired to do a version of one of my songs in their college choir – it’s the act of creating something new from my work. It’s amazing.”
Fully immersed in the new digital music world, Matthew is committed to being a trailblazer for other artists. “I want to leave a legacy for other musicians and show them that it’s possible to be a one man operation or a small band and do it on your own. I’m always looking for new ways to do that for myself and I’ll be letting people know where I’ve succeeded and let them know what to avoid from my failures,” he says.
In 2009, Matthew plans to develop himself as a touring artist. “My goal is to be touring with a band,” he declares, following with a laugh, “across the country, globe or universe.” He’ll also be beginning the follow up to Goodbye Planet Earth, of which he says, “I’m going to get back to a more organic feel. I think I want to call it Songs for Geeks,” he says with an impish grin. It will continue to be a fascinating journey for Matthew and his music, as well as a rich and rewarding ride for those who choose to follow.
