Hey! Just me checking in! It's been a crazy week and I wanted to personally thank everyone for the kind words and emails regarding the FYC Grammy submission. We talk a bit about motivation and how the difference between winning and losing is not giving up.

Here's a bit about me via www.monroemusic.net :

Monroe is the brainchild of Matt Berman, a multi-instrumentalist whose artistry speaks to listeners both in recorded and live performances. In 2019, Monroe opened for Justin Timberlake on his Man Of The Woods tour and Aaron Carter on his Love tour. In previous years, Matt has played saxophone and keys for Brandon Flowers’ (The Killers) Desired Effect world tour (2015-16). Monroe has performed at multiple festivals across the nation including Life is Beautiful, Bumbershoot and Austin City Limits. Off stage, Matt was featured twice in Billboard Magazine for his work with Snoop Dog’s Doggystyle Records, and was featured with CyHi the Prynce on his track and music video for “Long Damn Time” (2017). His musical accomplishments have been recognized in Alternative Press, Popdust, Substream, and Billboard Magazine. Additionally, Matt has been seen acting in featured roles on HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire” and the CW’s “Gossip Girl”.

We gotta talk diversity! How and where are we diversifying content? Where are the different places we can find opportunities for work? How are we going to get those connections we need to win and be successful? Let's talk the social media game and how to make the most of it.

We're going to start the introduction to some strategy ideas for building an audience; both on social media and in general. We'll jump into the specifics on the next podcast. but lets get the talk started today and get the juices flowing! 

In this episode we talk about one thing we have control over during this pandemic; the basics of creating an effective website and linking with social media.

What are YOU up to during this quarantine?

We're still stuck in quarantine here in NYC, so here's an attempt to do a virtual podcast with Trumpet player  Joe  Badaczewski. Joe toured with me on the Brandon Flowers' Desired Effect Tour and has done so much more. In this episode we catch up and talk about where the industry is heading. 

QUARANTINE! The world has gotten crazy and Matt shares his thoughts.
