About this user

By Daniel Kim 
The world needs more people like Matt Shockley—passionate, talented, humble, and sexy! Yes, you read that right, sexy! (And for the record, this is coming from a completely heterosexual and happily-married man.) I mean, whats not to love about a fly white guy who writes and produces his own music, plays guitar like the Caucasian offspring of Jimi Hendrix, and has a good grasp of who he is and what hes not? Thats a lethal combination and by lethal, I mean completely awesome! I cant say the same for posers like the Jonas Brothers (no offense to you closet teeny boppers) who make me think, why in the world are they famous? Matt Shockley has the gifting, dedication, and creativity to crack the grand stage and were the ones who get to witness this and journey with him on this path to destiny. Doesnt that just sound incredible?
Dancing to a Disco, Matt Shockleys latest and best work, is a culmination of who he is (an artist in the truest sense), where hes been (Georgia, Tennessee, California), and what he hopes to be (even more awesome). In a musical world that is littered with overproduced, inauthentic, and image-driven puke, Matt offers a bit more substance for the soul—a melodic salad to offset the dissonant junk food thats being stuffed down consumers throats these days! The title track, at first listen, may sound like just another great love song, but you will find that it speaks of hope in the midst of trials and hardship; a rather timely message given our gloomy day and age. Thats the thing about Matt—hes deep, relevant, sensitive to the climate of the day, and best of all, he has a twitter account (http://twitter.com/mattshockley Go follow him right now)!
Something that is overlooked a lot these days is passion. Dreams are on hold because bills need to be paid and many are stuck in jobs they hate, simply because they pay well and no other option is in sight. Fear of failure plays a big part in inhibiting people from chasing after whats really on their hearts. Matt Shockley is someone who has consciously made a decision to fight this and he is living out his dream—not because music is always the most lucrative, rewarding, easy, or secure line of work (Matt will be the first to tell you it is not!) but because Matt loves this and he is able to pour all that he is into his work. For those of you who feel that passion and dreams are overrated and endangered concepts, take one hard look at Matts life and music and you may start to feel otherwise. And while youre at it, take one hard look at Matts profile picture and you may feel this overwhelming need to hug him. . . and thats perfectly normal.
