Fourteen year old singing sensation MATTHEW PHILLIP WRODA discovered his love for music at a much younger age, when a turn in a first grade musical sparked the fire in him that would drive him to pursue his dream of a professional career in the music industry.“I started singing, like most kids do, in my bedroom and in the shower,†MATTHEW laughs, “but ever since I started performing I knew that singing was what I wanted to do with my life.â€MATTHEW’s fierce determination drove him to develop his skills year after year in school productions and eventually his talent impressed the faculty enough to win him several consecutive starring principal roles. With the full support of his parents, Jim and Laurie Wroda, MATTHEW entered a major talent competition in Florida called Talent Rock, where fate guided him to make the connection that would soon change his young life forever.Shortly after appearing at Talent Rock, MATTHEW was contacted by a New Jersey-based talent scout who was blown away by MATTHEW’s performance. Two weeks later, MATTHEW and his parents were on a plane en route to Los Angeles for a meeting with a major record label A&R representative, who asked MATTHEW to sing something acappella on the spot. Upon returning to the hotel, MATTHEW received a call that the rep. had liked him enough to set up a meeting with a personal manager, who in turn was instrumental in setting up MATTHEW’s first professional recording session in Philadelphia.Shortly after the songs were completed, Radio Station WTGR-FM in Greenville, Ohio invited MATTHEW to be the subject of a 30 minute on-air interview. It was during that interview that one of MATTHEW’s biggest dreams was realized when he heard his own music played on the radio for the very first time.“Wow! It was so cool to finally hear my music played on the air!†MATTHEW exclaims.Top 40 Radio Station WGTZ in Dayton Ohio also featured MATTHEW on the “Fresh Music†section of their website, asking listeners to vote for the Top 4 artists, who would then be picked to perform at the prestigious Clark County Fair. MATTHEW was thrilled when he found that the station’s listeners loved his music so much that he had not only won a place in the Top 4, he was voted into the number one spot in the contest.MATTHEW is currently hard at work finishing up his debut album. MATTHEW’s new self-released single “Walk Onâ€, featuring remixes by Chris “The Greek†Panaghi (Celine Dion, Jessica Simpson, Marc Anthony, Michael Jackson) Adam Marano (Collage, Rockell, Judy Torres), and Electrik Pulse (Top 5 Billboard Dance Chart topping remixer) has already generated a massive nationwide buzz and is beginning to receive heavy rotation on numerous high profile stations including Hot 96, 1Club.fm and XM Radio.MATTHEW credits his parents for supporting his ambition and for always keeping him grounded.“I have been very fortunate to have the support of my family and the encouragement from them that led me to work with some of the top music people in the industryâ€, MATTHEW smiles.Having achieved so much at an early age, MATTHEW can look forward to a long and successful career and knows that the best is yet to come!
