For Matthew Ebel, music is the key to the journey of life, not just the destination.

Ebel is also paving the way in the new music economy, showing that it is possible for independent artists to support themselves through their music; growing his audience by utilizing new tools available to artists.

I want people to take my music and then go off and create something on their own," says Matthew. "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 its the act of creating something new from my work. Its 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 its possible to be a one man operation or a small band and do it on your own. Im always looking for new ways to do that for myself and Ill be letting people know where Ive succeeded and let them know what to avoid from my failures, he says.
