It's the kind of tightly constructed, self-assured song that would make a perfect inspiration for kids struggling to find their own musical voices. - Chicago Reader

Bio
Matt Muse is a Hip-Hop artist/producer from Chicago. With a bold presence, dynamic lyricism, & a one of a kind live performance, Matt Muse has become a mainstay in the Chicago Hip-Hop scene while quietly, but certainly, moving toward national recognition. He was featured on ‘Sway in the Morning’ in the summer of 2015, and he has performed at multiple venues throughout Chicago; the most notable being headlining Chicago’s TIP Fest in July 2016 & on the September 2016 ‘AAHH! Fest’ main stage alongside J. Cole, Common, Vic Mensa, The Roots & more. Matt was a featured speaker at the 2016 NIU TEDx event where he did a TED Talk that discussed the impact that Hip-Hop has had on his life & many others. In March 2017, he released his debut EP The SiKK Tape via Midwest hip-hop blog Fake Shore Drive. It has since been featured in & praised by The Chicago Reader, France based music blog Da Water, as well as numerous other blogs and publications. On March 29, 2017, Muse embarked on a 13-stop promotional tour for The SiKK Tape that spanned the Eastern and Southern parts of the United States, as well as a stop in Canada. The tour featured three shows (Cincinnati, OH, Cleveland, OH, & Bloomington, IN) where Matt performed as support on Malcolm London’s Opia Tour. Matt’s first ever tour commenced on June 28 in Toronto and served as a flawless start to a new chapter of Matt’s career and a solid boost to his listeners outside of the Midwest. Currently, Matt is working on his debut album set to release in Spring 2018, and preparing for his headlining performance at the 2018 Taste of Chicago.
