We had the good fortune of connecting with Matthew Broyles and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Matthew, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
It’s certainly not the safest thing to do. But when something keeps calling you, it’s difficult to imagine just letting it go. We only get one chance to live, and what we do with our time here is important, regardless of whether or not it maximizes GDP.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am completely dedicated to singing the songs no one else is, whether they’re mine or someone else’s. I love to collect tunes from hidden corners and bring them out into the light. I’ve had to hunt down my fanbase in a similar fashion. Like me, they are often in the shadows, and have to be lured out with something out of the ordinary. A substantial belief in the value of quality composition carries me through on the rough days. If you want something different, come see me.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
