My name is Matt Palmer and I’m an up-and-coming R&B/Pop singer and songwriter.  Last May I graduated from NYU’s Clive Davis of Recorded Music and I still live in the city. Growing up listening to ‘90s R&B really influenced me musically.  With artists like TLC, Blackstreet & Toni Braxton – R&B music was so melodic and emotional when I was younger, and I want to bring that sound back.

As a result of entering countless songwriting competitions (and winning a few of them), I got signed as a staff songwriter for HoriPro Music a little over a year ago.  The songs I wrote in various NYU dorm rooms have become my first release, the I Wish EP.

I’m very blessed to have my songs professionally recorded and produced, but I know I still have a lot of work to do to get where I need to be.  This year I’m determined to collaborate more, perform more, and do whatever it takes to get my music heard.  If there’s anything I’ve learned about this industry, it takes a LOT more than talent to make it, but no matter the outcome, no one can say I didn’t try!

So this blog is going to be where I’ll be posting about life as an aspiring recording artist and songwriter trying to break into the industry.  I’m also an avid music fan – so I’ll be sharing some of the new music that inspires me.

Thanks for reading, and check back soon for more updates!
