{"key":"86046","name":"Matt McAndrew","bio":"A tattoo can say a lot about a person. Matt McAndrew\u2019s first ink speaks volumes about his dedication and passion for music.\u201cSince high school, my goal in life was to get signed to a record label, so I got an empty box tattooed on my wrist,\u201d he explains. \u201cWhen I got signed, the plan was to tattoo a check mark inside of it. It\u2019s a reminder of what I\u2019ve been working towards forever.\u201dMatt picked up his first guitar at the age of eleven. As a teen he found inspiration in the likes of Radiohead and Modest Mouse, and he began pursuing his goal to become a musician. Off the strength of his dynamic voice, he was accepted into University of the Arts in Philadelphia, majoring in vocal performance. As soon as he graduated, he increased that momentum, independently releasing his debut full-length, View of the Pines, in spring 2014. NBC\u2019s The Voice scouted him shortly thereafter. He chose Adam Levine as a coach, and he vaulted to international stardom over the course of season seven.\u201cAt the beginning of the show, I was so nervous,\u201d he admits. \u201cBy the time the finale came around, I became completely comfortable. I learned how to adapt into any environment and feel like I had a place there. You can be a big fish in whatever pond you\u2019re in. I thrived under pressure. I feel prepared for anything now because of that experience.\u201dMatt emerged in second place, but he won the love and support of audiences everywhere. His cover of Hozier\u2019s \u201cTake Me to Church\u201d landed in the Top 5 of the iTunes Overall Top Songs Chart, while his original single \u201cWasted Love\u201d not only debuted Top 5, but immediately clinched the #1 spot upon release. The track would go on to sell over 100,000 digital downloads in less than 24 hours, making a seismic impact on the industry on par with that of the year\u2019s other massive hit Taylor Swift\u2019s \u201cShake It Off.\u201dWith its elegant piano, distinct melody, and impassioned performance, \u201cWasted Love\u201d formally announces Matt\u2019s arrival as a striking singer and powerful pop presence.\u201cOn the surface, it\u2019s about a relationship that didn\u2019t work out,\u201d he goes on. \u201cI like to think of things in terms of how they relate to my musical journey though. In that sense, the song is about not having your dreams come to fruition the way you want them to. Love, talent, and passion are wasted. It really strikes a chord with me.\u201dIn addition to getting that \u201ccheck mark,\u201d Matt\u2019s in the midst of preparing new music for 2015 and beyond.\u201cI have a vision and direction for my songs,\u201d he leaves off. \u201cI know who I am as a person and a musician, and everything has helped me expand the definitions of both of those things. My dream hasn\u2019t changed. It\u2019s just gotten bigger.\u201d","featuredImage":"https:\/\/assets.allamericanmusic.com\/images\/86046_h_0.jpg","feeRange":"20,000 - 50,000"}

{"key":"187602","name":"Elenowen","bio":"\"Oh, my love, this is the beginning\u2026\" It certainly is the beginning of a new chapter for Josh & Nicole Johnson as they collaborate their passion & raw talent to form Elenowen (pronounced \"ellen-owen\"). Hailing from Nashville, TN, Josh & Nicole pursued individual careers before forming the folk rock duo that sings through the journeys of everyday life & the many battles it brings. Their music emphasizes heavy harmonies, raw acoustics, & ambient elements that combine to create a unique mood & sound that comes as an honest breath of fresh air in an overly manufactured music world. After about a year of living from paycheck to paycheck working at the same local coffee shop, Josh & Nicole started pursuing their dream by creating their debut album, Pulling Back the Veil (set to release January 2010). Pulling Back the Veil is a collection of eight original songs, written both individually & collectively to paint a picture of the road they have been on for the past year \u2013 a road filled with internal struggles to know truth, joyous triumphs over & through desire, & the awakening adjustments to married life. In forming Elenowen, Josh & Nicole felt called to not necessarily give answers or guide the listener, but to be honest & as real & vulnerable as possible. One quick listen to their music reveals Elenowen\u2019s uncanny ability to move past the surface & into the heart. The combination of Josh & Nicole\u2019s powerful melodies, smooth harmonies, & insightful lyrics distinguish this husband & wife duo from the magnitude of other aspiring artists. In an industry hungry for something new, raw, & beautiful, Elenowen distinguishes itself as an up & coming act that completely & refreshingly satisfies its listener.","featuredImage":"https:\/\/assets.allamericanmusic.com\/images\/187602_h_0.jpg","feeRange":"please contact"}
