Leave Us a Review  Matt Grundy is a California-based world-renowned multi-instrumentalist, touring, and studio musician. Matt has performed with and toured with some of the biggest names in the music industry including G. Love, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson as well as his main gig accompanying Donavon Frankenreiter which keeps him quite busy circling the globe year-round.    When not on tour, Grundy feels most himself with his wife, and daughter or in his music studio. Matt speaks from the heart about how he always seeks balance between living the rockstar life and being a bit more introverted at home.   Grundy describes his lifestyle and career as bipolar based on the extremes he experiences in both directions, from luxurious trips to Richard Branson’s Necker Island to staying in a room full of penis statues in Tahiti, to traveling around Europe in a souped-up cargo van with no heat and wooden bunks.   Matt has built up an impressive fluency on guitar, bass guitar, harmonica, vocals and drums, and aside from his gigging life he’s been developing his reputation as a singer-songwriter. Thus far he’s put out two studio albums and takes his music creation very seriously.    We go far and wide on this podcast. Matt shares his thoughts on AI and how it's affecting the music industry and how streaming platforms have become the new record label behemoth. Matt dives into his creative process and how he's constantly learning new things and improving his skills as a musician.    We touched upon what it’s like to be around true greatness and how toxic it can be to compare yourself to others. Matt says that he has a very obsessive mind and his former life with addiction has helped him to learn to point those compulsions at better things like fitness, sobriety, health, family, music and evolving as a human.   In talking to Grundy, it’s clear that he’s doing music for the right reason. He said that he's not looking to be rich and famous anymore, but he's always going to keep making music the way he wants to, regardless of who does or doesn't listen to it.    I’ve been friends with Matt since we were on tour together in  Brazil in 2007 and I love my talks with Grundy.    If you do, please leave us a review, subscribe, like and share.

Matt Grundy - Multi-Instrumentalist, Singer-Songwriter, and Studio Musician

Leave Us A Review Matt Grundy plays bass, rhythm guitar, harmonica, and sings backing vocals and for professional surfer turned rock star Donavon Frankenreiter. In this very unfiltered conversation, shares the highs and lows of parenting, the sacrifices that go into building a career in music, and life after being swallowed whole and spit out by addiction. Contrary to popular belief, musicians and artists aren’t always hungry for fame. We are fortunate for souls like Matt who really couldn’t care less about where he was or how much he was making - all he needs is the music. This interview is a really special one for us.  Not only are we huge fans of Matt but over the past 10-12 years, he has become a dear friend and is someone that we have literally been around the Earth and back with.   Grundy is one of those gentle giants that you cannot help but fall in love with. We always meet in the middle on topics like jazz, poetry, Sam Harris and self-awareness...but realizing that he’s also a ridiculous musician on top of the rest is motivating and humbling.   We think that if you asked Grundy he would say he is just along for the ride...but when you hear all he has on his mind and all he is up to, you quickly realize that he is far more than a backup musician.

There’s just no way. I had to make this happen and I wanted to -- It’s not like it was hard, because I had this little angel to take care of and it was amazing.” -Matt Grundy “When you first start playing music, you’re lucky to even scrape together 250 bucks a week. For me, I didn’t care about the lack of security in it. I was willing to live in my car forever if it meant I was going to be able to play the guitar. It didn’t sound like something that was okay -- it sounded favorable to me”. -Matt Grundy Links &amp; Resources:   Donavan Frankenreiter  Spotify  Sam Harris's Waking Up Course App  Dan Lebowitz (ALO)  Ben Harper  Connect with Matt Grundy  Instagram Facebook  Youtube  New Album: Pinon Hills, CA  Connect with The Shifting Perceptions Podcast:  Shifting Perceptions Website  Join Our Mailing List Facebook  Instagram Twitter  Connect with Jay Alders  Jay Alders Website Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube Pinterest  Connect with Chelsea Alders &amp; Companies  Om Mamas Doulas Website Sun Dreams Productions Website Instagram  Chelsea Om Mamas Doulas Sun Dreams Productions    Thank you Charlotte's Web CBD for your support on this episode!  Take 10% OFF with Code: ALDERS on JayAlders.com/cbd   * Contains Affiliate Links
