Jealousy is ugly and fear is overrated

About Me

A song ain’t worth singin if it ain’t gotta story and a story ain’t worth tellin if it ain’t gotta message--a bit of sage advice that Matt Monta picked up somewhere along the way. A bit of sage advice that’s threaded its way through his writing and music. Sometimes its serious... other times its just damn entertaining.
