Hi! My name is Matt Steady, an independent musician from Leicester in England. In-between looking after a small herd of children, my job is making music! It’s an eclectic mixture of progressive folk blues – it can get pretty rocky, and has heavy Celtic influences.

In days of old, musicians used to disappear into a cave for 6 months before releasing a CD. I want to do something different. I’m going to give you my music as I’m creating it - new songs, covers, videos and live performances.

I want to involve YOU in this process by getting your feedback on songs as I’m writing them. I will be sharing a regular video log from my home studio – you’ll hear songs evolve from a few lyrics into full-blown album-ready tracks. You’ll have your say on album artwork and t-shirt designs, cheer me up when I’m down and bring me back to earth again if I’m getting too big for my boots!

When I’ve enough material for an album, I’ll put that together and you’ll have the first opportunity to get your hands on it, with your name on the artwork! You’ll also be able to get on the credits at the end of my videos thanking you for making them happen.

In return, Patreon will allow you to pay me a small fixed monthly tip. You can sign up for as little as $1, or upgrade if you prefer some of the crazier rewards like recording and dedicating cover songs for you. And don’t worry if you don’t live in America – it’ll let you show your support in your own currency.

So if you like the sound of getting my music on a regular basis, along with all the other perks, click the big red button! See you inside…
