Fig was signed by the label in April of 2009. "I've known Matt for a while and he just keeps getting better. He is truly an independent artist who has been seriously honing his craft as a songwriter and performer", states 34 West Records President Aaron Wayne-Duke. "When I first heard "The Medicine Isn't Helping" I immediately made him an offer to come to the label. We've been working together for several years so it just made sense to finally seal the deal," he adds.
"The writing process for this album was sit down, play a few chords and start humming�That's how I always do it�Sometimes I start with the guitar, other times I use the piano�The songs for this record came together quickly and we actually recorded more material than we could use", Matt Fig said. "Music is life and every song is a piece of me", added Fig of the project.
The CD is currently available at the following digital download sites Itunes (US, UK, European Union, Japan, Canada, Australia and New Zealand), Rhapsody, Amazon MP3, Napster, IMVU, Lala, Shockhound and Amie Street. The CD will also be available through www.CDbaby.com.
The first single "The Medicine Isn't Helping" is available for internet and traditional radio stations. Programmers should contact 34 West Records at [email protected].
FIG will play select dates for the official release of "The Medicine Isn't Helping" including Chicago, Detroit, Nashville, St. Louis and Indianapolis.
