Dear Friend,
I’m writing to ask for financial support, so I can continue writing music.
My journey began as a troubled teenager seeking an outlet from drug addiction. Discovering the transformative power of music was a turning point for me, leading to recovery and igniting a deep passion for creativity.
This passion drove me to pursue a formal education in music, culminating in a master’s degree in music composition from the Boston Conservatory at Berklee.
To experience my work, you can visit my YouTube channel here which features some of my latest compositions:

Despite achievements in composition and having some notable performances from famous ensembles/musicians, the reality of making a living as a composer in the U.S. is challenging without support; the composition world largely consists of submitting music to ensembles and competitions, many of which offer limited financial compensation (…even for winning entries). This struggle has brought me to seek financial assistance through this platform.
Your support is crucial and will enable me to:
- Dedicate the necessary time and effort to compose and refine new works.
- Hire talented musicians to bring these compositions to life.
- Invest in marketing and promotions to reach a broader audience.
If you feel moved by my music and wish to support my projects, you can contribute via my Paypal link here: https://paypal.me/matthewcomposer
Your support will be instrumental in helping me flourish as a composer and contribute more significantly to the cultural landscape. Every contribution, regardless of size, makes a profound difference.
I believe that art gives us strength to face life’s challenges even if they are painful. By supporting my music, you become a part of this artistic journey, helping to transform struggles into universal messages of healing and understanding.
Thank you for considering this request. I am deeply grateful for your time and support.
