Welcome to ZEM Interviews! We hope you enjoy our interviews and gain new insight into your favorite people in the entertainment industry!
For this interview, I got in touch with another musician, one I'd first discovered about one year ago.
A huge thank you to Matt for this interview. Matt is a brilliant musician with a great voice. Be sure to check out his EP album and listen to his latest single!
Without further ado, the interview:

If you had to describe yourself in 5 words, which 5 would you use?
Passionate, loving, goofy, hard working, and loyal
When did you realize that you wanted to be a musician?
I started singing around the age of three. I've always had a dream of being a musician and pursuing music as a calling since as long as I can remember.
What do you enjoy the most about being a musician?
I really enjoy writing and performing songs that bring words of encouragement to people and their lives. That is the most rewarding part of what I get to do!

Do you write your all of your own songs?
Yes, I do write my own songs. I also love to co-write with other writers.
Who inspires you? Which bands and performers do you draw inspiration from?
I’ve always really looked up to the MercyMe guys. Love their music and the message they bring to their audience. I draw inspiration from all sorts of music and bands…I’m a huge pop music fan, so you will see some of that influence in my songs.
Do you have a favorite of your songs?
As or right now, Our Great Healer is a song that’s really been resonating with me.
It’s such a powerful truth—I’ve been living with it for about a year now. It’s been a big part of my life and this season that I’m currently going through.

Tell us a little about your latest single. Are you working on album?
Our Great Healer is my latest single, and I wrote it about a year ago at a writer’s retreat.
It was written under the premise that our God is a God of healing and restoration…that he is actively pursuing us and wants to heal the broken places in our lives.
I am working on a new album! I’m currently in the writing process, and I hope to be in the studio in early 2015 with a spring/summer release!
Just for fun: cats or dogs?
Both. I have two cats and a dog. I love animals!
Anything else you’d like to say to the fans?
Just that I appreciate the encouragement and support! You guys rock!
