the 61

first off thank you guys so much for breathing new life into my music! I've been recording for a long time now, 10 years and going strong. I have submitted my tracks to many A&R; agents and managers but you know how the music industry goes...if you don't make money first they don't care...either way...I'm going back to school! Umass Boston actually for my Music BA...no worries however I continue to work on 'Greenlight' the first official full-length album to be released! mmm what else? oh yeah! since 61 ( http://www.thesixtyone.com/mattromero/ ) allows an artist to now upload a new song everyday and I happen to have like over a dozen self-produced albums no one has really heard...then why not? you get to hear a new song everyday!!! anyways please feel free to contact me guys I love to hear from you!! longv@comcast.net much love and keep on trudging on my friends - M

Victory!!

Finally the upcoming full-length album 'Greenlight' is in production again full force and I got a little surprise for you all, the final studio release candidate of the first single 'Heroes In Modern Times' is NOW PLAYING!! Hope you enjoy it, I sure did making the song. I could not get into a real studio due to going back to school but the home production has evolved quite a bit over the past decade. I think it's fitting to start the new CD off like this because it could inspire and get someone out of their seat and moving right along towards the future. This is the start of something beautiful...

Hello, it's late

I feel like a dinosaur ...pretty silly to say but I remember the days of MP3.com back in the 90s when all the lil indie musicians would come together under one beautiful online umbrella and everyone would listen to music and buy albums and people were so enthusiastic about so many of these new artists striking out on their own and creating such awesome new music.

then Myspace came along and it was again fairly glorious spot under the sun where people would come and check out all cool new up and coming artists...there was an air of hope back then.

well friends, nowadays things got so complicated, the modern media somehow got more convoluted and confusing and saturated leaving most to just basically give up and navigate the most mundane of websites. I hope better days are to come, the music industry (from what I gather since only Lady Ga Ga's and overrated indie alt rockers need apply) is in a sad state of affairs.

However, some websites still are trying to pick up the pieces...Last.FM has still held up and become a last bastion for people discovering great artists...and Sixty One has tried and I think will eventually catch on beyond its niche of followers.

I still stand after 10 years of recording music and performing, and I'm just getting started.

I'm going back to school...for music, and this time I feel prepared and excited to get back into an active community and become motivated again to well...do music again, play live and get this fn show on the road already. I've recorded enough music for now (2 studio EPs and over 12 self-produced albums if you want to hear my life's story at Last.FM) I'm going to school in Boston and I feel like this is a new beginning for me. I truly feel like my life is getting re-started now, and for the best. And ya know, I'll probably learn some new things ;) become a way better musicians now that I know my own identity and it doesn't have to get washed away in the muddle of learning how to play when you already just want to play the words and melodies in your head.

So...I'm off, and I hope to see alot of you during the journey, either on stage or off, we'll find a way to make things feel as great as they did for me back in the 90s when the future was exciting, the future is exciting again, I'm done with a dreary existance and refuse to be a product of the world's most negative changes happening today... we can do so much better than this.

much love and peace,
M

Going back to school!!

Going back to school!! for music ...after 2 week long job search and soul searching this just felt right, I never finished college and I think I'm more than ready to finally go back. psyched!

the rock dream is not dead, this whole experience will probably help it as I'll come back alive and full of energy to push onward and write new music finally.

much love all,
M

oddly enough

very optimistic and confident about the new job search and career path
