We recently connected with Matty Shredz and have shared our conversation below.
Matty, appreciate you joining us today. Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?
I started playing guitar at the age of 11 in October of 2012. I started off by learning Songs by KISS, Aerosmith and AC/DC. Honestly I don’t think I could’ve sped up the learning process because I feel like it happened naturally. The skills that were most essential to me were learning major and minor scales and learning where every note is on the fretboard. No major obstacles stood in my way of learning more.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I’m Matty Shredz, i’m a Guitarist and Producer from Metro Detroit. I was always into music growing up. But when I first discovered the band KISS that was when I wanted to start playing guitar. I started producing in the summer 2021. I now have a few songs with a few Detroit artists that I produced myself. I also do live performances with some of my artists that I produced for.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
It would have to be hearing the finished product after hours upon hours of perfecting it.
How did you build your audience on social media?
I first started out recording guitar cover videos and posting them on Instagram. I would cover popular songs that are played on the radio. Best advice I can give to build social media presence is to network. Go out to functions where your craft is and just network.
