I have spent the better part of the last decade running a music website that was launched from my frozen Michigan dorm room at the tail end of winter 2008. Since that time, well over a hundred different contributors have joined the team, and though many have left some have stuck around for multiple years, developing their careers alongside my own. One of those diehards is Matthew Leimkuehler, a man I have often thought to be a far better writer and leader than myself, and today we’re going to highlight his underrated work in the music business.
I first came into contact with Matthew in 2012, and to be honest it did not take long to realize he was someone with the skills to make it in this often treacherous industry. He’s smart and cunning, with writing and editing skills that would make any large publication squeal with joy. More importantly however, at least in my mind, is his undying dedication to the music and artists that inspire him. Matthew is the type of guy who gets behind an artist he believes in and does everything in his power to help them become household names. In my mind there are few ways better to spend your time in music than doing that type of work, and Matthew has made it his mission to help as many young artists as he is able. In this interview we discuss his passion for music, as well as the importance of editors making sure every interview is special. You can stream and download our chat, in full, below:
