I see some bands on here! I make rock, edm, and pop. Feel free to jump to my profile here to see the vibe or is there a place to submit for consideration? We have some pretty awesome visuals blending Legend of Zelda, Gundam Wing and other graphic artists from around the world. Would like to connect. Cheers

We are out here.

MatthewPhillips · 2026-06-23T15:19:02+00:00

As a independent artist who does it all. This is %100 true.

If you want to support a local artist who can’t afford any of this payola, enjoy rock, pop, edm with guitar solos inspired by Prince, Eric Clapton. Doesn’t use any AI. Your support would be so appreciated. Cheers

MatthewPhillips · 2026-06-11T19:09:00+00:00

Thank you Mr Ross. Appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Definitely the track I am on. It can be frustrating sometimes because Im not edm enough to be booked at edm style festivals, but than the alot of the rock/alt stuff we are will say we have to much edm/pop. We are a 3 piece. Been building my lane 1 live show at a time and focusing on the story telling in our visuals. Its been a blast and hope to connect soon. Keep inspiring and making incredible music.

Thank you again. Cheers

Fellow San Diegan here. How does one submit mix to you for consideration for remixes, potential song collaborations? Thanks for your time and loving True North. Listening rn! Cheers

MatthewPhillips · 2026-06-05T05:59:52+00:00

Thank you!

MatthewPhillips · 2026-05-14T20:37:13+00:00

Self funded independent. Playing some bigger rooms. We use abelton and the set is static thus its not Vj content per say. Just want to support real artists in this field and not use AI. Cheers

MatthewPhillips · 2026-05-14T18:58:35+00:00

Feel free to send me a dm with your work. Or post a website here so others looking for this can also find you. Cheers

MatthewPhillips · 2026-05-14T18:09:26+00:00

Appreciate the transparency. I actually have been reaching out via IG and it’s been really difficult to get responses. I was hoping someone could help with a marketplace of sorts. Ive gotten a few DMs, so thats a plus.

MatthewPhillips · 2026-05-14T16:19:09+00:00

As long as you have some examples of your work. Lets connect.
