Since leaving Los Angeles, Matt also has found a creative hub in the desert. “I used to feel like if I wasn’t in Hollywood, in the mix, that I’d be out of sight, out of mind,” he says. “But now my friends come here to write and record music.”
It’s a refreshing change for Matt, who admits, “When I was younger, there were people in the industry you didn’t want to deal with, but you sort of had to. I don’t have time for that anymore. When I keep the slate clean and only have good people around me, better things happen. It’s important to create an environment that speaks to that; that’s what we’ve done here.”
