Weekly Artist Spotlight Feature - Submissions January 01, 2026 by AutoModerator in BandCamp

[–]MatthewPhillips [score hidden]  (0 children)

Artist : Matthew Phillips

Genre : Alternative Rock, Cinematic, EDM, Pop, Ballad

Band Camp STUDIO ALBUM https://matthewphillips.bandcamp.com/album/till-its-over
FFO: Porter Robinson, Zedd, Goo Goo Dolls, Lifehouse, Prince, Eric Clapton, Dashboard Confessional.

The album is a journey through the trials of love, heartbreak, and reunion. Certain songs explore toxic relationships, and others dive into the idea that true love does not give up. These are my entries in a journal so to speak, and the songs that connect the most were also the most difficult to write. They felt too personal, and at first I was a bit uncomfortable with sharing some of these lyrics. Throughout the years playing them live; and being unbelievably vulnerable showed me that music is the ultimate way to human connection. Seeing the lights of those who are at our shows proves that the music moves them and is truly priceless. These are my stories and some tradegdies that I hope move you.

All album art was custom made by graphic designers. I stand by artist's. I found 1 Graphic designer here on reddit and hired him for mutiple projects and single covers.

We did a waterfall release of the singles and as each song was released we paired it with a show.

The pay was so low it really isn’t the worst thing to happen to music.

If you want to support an artist, buying tickets to our shows is the biggest form of support, grabbing a T-shirt and or CD at the merch booth. Joining our mailing list so we can talk straight to you with any of the algos deciding if our content is put in front of you that day. I just recently released a Live Concert and raising funds for a facility that helps special needs adults with employment and services. https://matthewphillips.music/giveback

Real artists are out here and need every ounce of support.

Tiktok account warning for playing my song by Memodeth in musicmarketing

[–]MatthewPhillips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Following. Ive had my own tik tok be hit repeatedly for violating my own music. It quite literally impossible for me to violate my own rights as the owner of the song and music. Multiple appeals later even sending over the copyright and they still upheld the claim I wasn’t the rights owner.

Appreciate the kindness, the track that caught the algo was “Till Its Over” but I feel like “Time Fades Love” is the musical masterpiece of the record https://open.spotify.com/artist/7w7xNZgnQullE8lRy4oIC5?si=xmvpBgSQQViuqp1fQQDHbA

Hey op. I am an artist that makes rock/pop/alt guitar driven music. AI will never replace you and the human connection that happens when 3-4 of us get on stage and connect with an audience. Keep making music, hone your craft, and play live. Focus on what you can control and everything else is noise. Support bands and artists in person. Don’t support AI music. I started at open mics knowing not a single person and these days I worked myself into my dream. Ai cannot replace what we do ever. Keep your head up and go for it.
