This is the official music video for Matt's fourth single and title track off of his critically acclaimed album, "CHANGE BEGINS WITH ME".
Written by Zarley, Andy Zulla, and Chris Curtis, "Change Begins With Me", is a heartfelt anthem and declaration of self-acceptance, responsibility, and forgiveness. The track, which was produced by Zarley's long time producer and Grammy winner, Zulla, also features the acclaimed Broadway Inspirational Voices.
As a sign of appreciation for their support over the past year, Zarley invited his fans to be a part of the message. Over the past few months, dozens of fans submitted home movies with their messages of change and those are featured in the video's grand finale, directed by Robert Bottoms and produced by Area 149.
Critics alike have embraced Zarley's "Change Begins with Me" with rave reviews: "A sexy collection of swoon-worthy songs" (The Advocate); "...our idea of perfect" (Instinct); "Soulful and inspiring" (Out Q on Sirius XM); "Inspirational!" (Washington Blade); "Definitely worth listening to!" (Huffington Post); "Painful, raw, and unequivocal" (Windy City Times); and "Emotionally charged!" (Homorazzi). Pop icon Boy George hails, "Nice chops!"; while Erasure's front man, Andy Bell praises "Absolutely beautiful voice...stunning....really, really brilliant".
"Change Begins With Me" is currently available on iTunes and other digital outlets, along with his full music and video catalog. For more information about Matt's music and live performance schedule, visit www.MattZarley.com or follow Matt on Twitter and Facebook @MattZarley.
