Today we’d like to introduce you to Matt Merrigan.
Matt, please kick things off for us by telling us about yourself and your journey so far.
Born in Northbrook IL. Went to Millikin university d3 to play basketball and after my sophomore year I quit the team. After that I started writing to fill my time. Now since being back in Chicago I have upped my performance game and have opened for acts such as Cam’ron, Scarface, MURS and Merkules with many more shows to come!
Can you give our readers some background on your art?
I make hip hop songs with a jazz vibe to them. I love the smooth feel to the beats and the community is full of accepting and nice people. I like my message to be not to take anything too seriously. Also, to treat people with respect. If we all do that I think life would be a little easier.
In your view, what is the biggest issue artists have to deal with?
Getting people to listen to you in a world where everyone is a rapper
What’s the best way for someone to check out your work and provide support?
SoundCloud has all of my stuff. I have a few videos on YouTube and the jazz hop cafe has featured me a few times on their YouTube page
