“The lyrics of “Won’t Do” began on the first page of the journal that I kept during the pandemic. It’s self-explanatory and applicable. This was the first song I recorded as a solo artist and it feels only natural for it to be the first released.”
He continued: “I think we can all remember where we were in the beginning of 2020 as the world came to a sudden halt. The feelings we felt, the sights we were seeing. It was uneasy and uncertain. For the first time at least in my lifetime, there was a universal experience that could have been met with empathy and unification but instead spiraled into division, anger, and anxiety.”
Best known for his involvement in Los Angeles’ NEW LANGUAGE and as a touring member of Teenage Wrist (Epitaph Records) and Holy Wars (Version iii), but it isn’t until now that he is stepping into the spotlight with the launch of this artist highly anticipated project that has been teased over the last year. A southern California native, matty has been playing and touring with his own groups since before he can remember, but it isn’t until now that he has stepped into the spotlight on his own.
