Music Artist To Release New Song Every Day in 2014

Chicago musician takes on project to write, record, and release a new song every single day in the year 2014.

Matt Sams, an independent musician from Chicago who promotes his music on Melody Fusion, has undertaken a revolutionary and unique project: to write, record, and release a song every single day in the year of 2014.

"I probably curse myself two or three times a week for dreaming up this project," he said. "I have had to work through walking pneumonia, an ear infection and laryngitis. Those days usually result in an odd song, but I typically enjoy the end product. I basically just force myself to work. I don't allow myself any excuses. But at the end of the day, I'm happy I did it."

Matt says the subject matter of his songs seem to be entirely random, not knowing what the song is about until it's finished. His musical influences include Billy Corgan, Pete Townshend, and Stuart Adamson. However, he says he tries not to sound like those musicians when writing his songs. Also, he is open to any genre that seems to be the best fit at the time, except for rap, "because me rapping would be horrible."

As for his ultimate goal for this project he plans on doing a 'best of' for every month. So far he has stayed true to it, posting all the songs for each month in its own album on his website. He also wants to choose the best 12 to 15 songs of the 365 and make one album.

Matt promotes his music on Melody Fusion, a musician social media website that allows members to join for free, and promote their music and gigs, and network with other musicians. Visit them at melodyfusion.com.
