Matt Massey – Built (single)

October 18, 2018 The Ark of Music Leave a Comment

Performing and recording with various other bands since his mid-teens, the now 24 year-old singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, Matt Massey, has finally decided to venture out—solo.

The Fort Worth-based (by way of St. Louis) artist not only finds challenge and inspiration in playing drums, bass, guitar, and vocals on his debut, solo album, Dear Today; he’s also taken on the recording and production responsibilities as well.

His new single, Built, not only offers relatable meat & potatoes for you and I, it also just happens to directly represent his new-found DIY spirit.


“After playing with other guys half my life, and understanding the ups and downs of band dynamics all too well, a lot of what went into my decision to go solo was a matter of simple convenience…”

—Matt Massey


An intro of thick guitar chords and Massey’s gruff rock-style vocal timbre (reminiscent of 7M3’s Jason Ross) quickly give way to a cadence and arrangement which approaches metal during the tracks only verse.

Listen closely and you’ll catch the crazy double-time kick shots and two sick solos (at the 1:50 mark, and another roughly a minute later). While you’re listening, try to remember—he did this all himself. Appreciate what you’re hearing here; this kid’s got talent…

“I’m built with broken pieces
I’m built up like you
I’m built with broken pieces
Just like brand new…”

WHOSE LOVECHILD…?
Seven Mary Three 
meets System Of A Down…
