Matt Dorman biography

"Matt Dorman is from Manistique, Michigan. A small town in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan".

MATT HAS BEEN WRITING SONGS MOST OF HIS LIFE. IN 1994, MATT GOT HIS FIRST BREAK. A LOCAL ARTIST NAMED RANDY ANDERSON CALLED TO SEE IF HE COULD PUT MATT’S SONG "TWO TIME, ONE TIME" ON HIS CD RELEASE, "ONE MORE LIFETIME". THEN IN 1995, MATT'S SONG, "SHADOWS ON THE WALL" WAS RECORDED BY FAMOUS COUNTRY ARTIST JERRY HANLON, AND THE CD "LIVING ON DREAMS" WAS RELEASED TO INDEPENDENT RADIO STATIONS AROUND THE WORLD, WITH "SHADOWS ON THE WALL" BEING MATT’S FIRST CHARTED SONG.

NOT LONG AFTER THAT, MORE CD RELEASES FOLLOWED. JERRY HANLON PUT TWO MORE OF MATT’S SONGS ON A CD RELEASE, AND MATT GOT HIS FIRST TITLE CUT WITH "COUNTRY NIGHTS", WHICH WAS RELEASED TO RADIO STATIONS WORLDWIDE.

RANDY ANDERSON CUT THREE OF MATT’S SONGS ON HIS "LOVING YOU UP" CD, INCLUDING A SONG CO WRITTEN BY MATT AND RANDY, CALLED "ANOTHER MAN’S CASTLE". MATT’S SONGS WERE RELEASED ON TWO COMSTOCK RECORDS RELEASES TO RADIO WORLDWIDE, AND DID VERY WELL, WITH HIS SONG "ANOTHER YOU" GOING AS HIGH AS NUMBER 3 ON INDIE CHARTS.

ANOTHER ARTIST, CRAIG CAFFALL, RELEASED A SONG CO WRITTEN BY MATT AND CRAIG ON HIS CD "ROLL ON BIG SISTER" BY HIS BAND "BIG TRAIN", CALLED "GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF THE REST". RANDY ANDERSON RECENTLY CUT A SONG CO WRITTEN BY MATT AND HIMSELF, CALLED "LUCKY GUY". THE CD, "HELLO EVERYBODY, WE’RE BACK!" IS OFFERED AT RANDY’S LIVE SHOWS, AND ON THE INTERNET. MATT CONTINUES TO PITCH HIS SONGS TO WHOMEVER WILL LISTEN. CURRENTLY, HE HAS OVER 150 SONGS IN HIS CATALOG, WITH OVER 50 SONGS PUBLISHED TO DATE. 30 YEARS AFTER MAKING UP HIS MIND TO BECOME A FAMOUS SONGWRITER, MATT IS STILL CHASING THAT DREAM. MATT'S MOTTO IS "NEVER SAY NEVER!"
