Matt Maye is a talented young singer-songwriter whose songs reflect remarkable honesty and truth. His insightful lyrics and carefully crafted melodies come together in a singular expression of what it means to be alive.
↓ more ↓Through his music he gives form to the love and loss we experience as well as the hope that keeps us going. Maye's sincere vocals and guitar playing seem to effortlessly reach his audience through the universal appeal of his songs. He is tangible proof of music as it is meant to be: emotional, powerful, and transforming.
At an early age Matt was exposed to a wide variety of music from the classical music and opera that his mother played to the rock and roll that his father listened to. As Matt matured, his musical tastes expanded and he was soon discovering the many creative possibilities that music presents. It was only a matter of time before he started to write his own songs.
While he was a teenager, Matt began to teach himself the guitar. Armed with some old folk music piano books and a guitar chord chart he quickly developed an understanding of the instrument. Soon he was playing along with his parents' records in the basement of their home. However, his drive to learn the guitar was still not satisfied. He immersed himself in music theory with books from the local guitar shop and took lessons whenever he could. As his abilities grew, Matt found himself compelled not only to play the music that already existed, but to create his own.
Now, with the release of his debut album, Matt Maye is poised to make his own mark on the music world. Halfway There is a 5 song EP that expresses with remarkable precision emotions which we have all experienced. From the unapologetic defiance of the first track, "Nothing Left To Say", to the impassioned plea of "Alone With You", and the beautiful sadness of a relationship clouded in ambiguity on "Don't Let Me Go", Halfway There is an album that transcends categorization. It is a compelling introduction to a unique artist who doesn't disappoint.
