Matt Gold’s “Appreciated” On Billboard
According to his peeps…
“Matt Gold is a tried and true musician. He feels, he experiences, and he writes. His ability to so perfectly capture his own emotions and translate them into song has proven what a gifted songwriter he is. His expressive and vulnerable adult contemporary music has helped him create a symbiotic, cathartic relationship with his fans.
“His songs resonate, which is how he’s been able to establish himself among other singer-songwriters. He plays shows on college campuses and in smaller venues, making him instantly accessible and relatable. Alongside his music, his story sticks with you, too. He grew up as an adopted only child to very religious parents, and within this very complicated world, came out as being gay.
“Matt Gold has released a new EP called Let It Out. Recorded with Grammy-winning engineer David Bianco and produced by renowned drummer Kenny Aronoff, it’s his most optimistic release to date. The single, ‘Appreciated,’ has charted on the Billboard Hot AC chart–a rare feat for a completely independent artist. The elevating, euphoric atmosphere of the songs is proof of his soul searching and overall acceptance of his life right now. You can tell these songs are coming from somewhere very real, and that experience is ardently captured in Gold’s singing and piano playing. ‘For me,’ he says, ‘it’s all about the music. My goal is to make somebody feel and give them something to nourish their soul.’
