Matt’s story is the pursuit of a dream at the expense of security and convention. After earning a degree at Columbia University, he embarked on a business career in his “real time” while doing what he loved in stolen moments—writing and performing music. All of Matt’s songs were about following your dream, instead of taking the path others expect of you. After way too long into what felt like someone else’s life, the irony struck him: he wasn’t practicing what he preached.
Without looking back, and with bills to pay, Matt leaped headlong into music. With zero help from the music industry establishment, Matt knew he had to build his dream from the ground up—or from just below it. He hauled his keyboard down into the NYC subway, where people took notice, if only in passing. He knew he needed to reach a broader audience, so he took to YouTube. Before he knew it, his fan base was growing itself; people like Ashton Kutcher and Bruno Mars were Tweeting about his videos and driving an online buzz. Even one of the original members of Maroon 5 reached out to show his support. Matt knows this is just the beginning, and can’t help but wonder how life would have been in a suit and on someone else’s time.
His recently released debut album, CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER, showcases his soulful, raspy vocals and signature blend of R&B Rock that's catchy enough to top pop radio charts.
Matt is currently in the studio writing and recording with platinum-selling producer Alex Da Kid (Eminem and Rihanna’s Love The Way You Lie, B.o.B.’s Airplanes). His vocals and production are also featured on Inspectah Deck's Manifesto Redux album, released Nov 23, 2010. Matt will be the featured artist on a single released on Ultra Records, produced by Justin Michael.

Matt Beilis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You turn the room into a runway everywhere you walk
You're the brightest star that I've ever come across
And I never want to turn you off
Every move you make should be covered
‘Cause your beauty needs to be discovered
Honestly you're so different from all the others
You should be famous
You're so beautiful
Everyone should know
You put on a show
You should be famous
Wish the world could see
What you mean to me
My celebrity
You should be famous
I don't mean to brag but you should have the starring role
I want more than just a preview when you hold me close
‘Cause you steal the show, with nothing but a cameo
They love you everywhere you go
Every move you make should be covered
‘Cause your beauty needs to be discovered
Honestly you're so different from all the others
I got to let you know, you're unforgettable
You should be famous
You're so beautiful
Everyone should know
You put on a show
You should be famous
Wish the world could see
What you mean to me
My celebrity
You should be famous
Privately, they don't see
They way she acts behind the scenes
She's got the spotlight
Even if I'm the only one who believes
You're so beautiful
Everyone should know
You put on a show
Wish the world could see
What you mean to me
My celebrity
You should be famous
You're so beautiful
Everyone should know
You put on a show
You should be famous
Wish the world could see
What you mean to me
My celebrity
You should be famous
