Who AM I ?
I've used this exact method to bring to life hundreds of songs that have been placed in projects
such as MTV's My Super Sweet 16, and the films DEALeR and Clandestine, among many others.​​

Hey I'm Nick DeMatteo! I'm a singer/songwriter/producer with decades of experience in the music and entertainment industry.

I've released hundreds of songs for dozens of artists in multiple genres, and my music has garnered amazing reviews from fans and sites like indie-music.com and Score! Music.
​

I've been a music supervisor for many projects, such as the web series This End Up and Lock-Load-Love, and the podcasts Death and Dirt and Law in the Family.

As a voice over artist, I've done dozens of national commercials like Trolli, HP Computers, and Connect Four, and I was the original voice of Ozempic.

Why WORK WITH ME ?
I believe that self-expression is vital.
My #1 mode of expression has always been music. It's how I release the thoughts and emotions that words alone can’t hold.
I know what it feels like to connect deeply through song, giving voice to what we often can’t say out loud,
and finding unexpected catharsis and joy in the process.
I spent years in a day job I didn't want.
My coworkers had no idea I was a songwriter, and couldn't see the passion I'd devoted to my craft for my whole life.
I was tired of "pretending" to be someone I wasn't. ​​
​
Time was passing by too quickly, and I didn't want to waste any more of it.
I took the leap, left my day job, and committed myself to a life in music.
I never regretted it, and never looked back. Now the world has heard my voice again & again, and we're all better for it.
​
This can be you too.
Don't let the world lose out on something only you can give it. No one else can create the music that's inside you.
​​​​
​​​We all want to make an impact, do something memorable, leave a legacy, create work that stands the test of time.
If that work for you is song creation, then you've come to the right place!​
Why NOW ?
​What if you reach the end of your life and you never wrote your song?
Time is so valuable, and in such short supply.
What if five or ten more years pass and you're still unsatisfied, still ignoring that passionate voice inside you aching to be heard?
​​
Will you watch others do what's in their heart, while you sit by year after year wishing you could too?
Will you continue to walk through life knowing people don't see you as you really are?​​
​
You're still here. Still alive. What will tomorrow bring?
​
The good news is it’s never too late.
​
Dare to create the song NOW that only you can write - and let it leave a mark that never fades.
TESTIMONIALS
I took my songs to Nick, some of which were written down, some only sung. When I got back my skeletal presentation of songs, I was expecting voice and piano, and instead got fully orchestrated professional songs. The thing that impressed me the most is that my songs came back to me almost exactly the way I heard them in my head. AMAZING!!! If you are serious about having your songs done right, I recommend that you work with Nick. You will not be disappointed.
Bob Quinn, Lancaster, PA
I’ve had the privilege of working with Nick on several projects, and I look forward to many more. Nick has played an essential role in helping me write, record, and develop my music. He taught me a great deal about songwriting and studio recording. He uses his skills and creativity with generosity and enthusiasm, without ever imposing his taste. I highly recommend Nick as both a coach and collaborator. He brings a rare mix of technical expertise, artistic sensitivity, and collaborative spirit to everything he does.

FAQs
I’ve never written a song. Is this for me?
Absolutely. This program is beginner-friendly and built for anyone with a creative spark. If you’ve ever had a thought, melody, or feeling you wanted to express through music — you’re in the right place.
What if I don’t play an instrument or sing?
No problem. You don’t need to be a performer to write songs. We can work with voice notes, ideas, lyrics, or even spoken words. Your expression is what matters — not your technical skills.
Am I too old to start songwriting?
Never. Many of my clients are in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond. Your life experience brings richness to your music. This is the perfect time to finally say what you’ve always wanted to say.
What if I'm not good enough and I fail?
That fear is completely normal. And it’s the reason this coaching exists. Songwriting isn’t a test — it’s a practice. We create a safe space to explore, experiment, and grow without judgment.
How long before I write something I like?
Often faster than you think. You’ll begin working on a song right away, and many clients complete their first song within the first few weeks — amazed at what they’ve created.
What if I get stuck or lose motivation?
That’s where I come in. I’ll help you push through blocks, refocus your energy, and keep the creative fire alive. You’re never doing this alone.
What will I walk away with?
Confidence, clarity, and a song you’re proud of.
By the end of the program, you’ll have a finished piece of work, new tools for songwriting, and a deeper connection to your creative voice.
What if I don't have time right now?
You don’t need hours a day — just a little consistent space. This program is designed to fit into real life. We’ll create a rhythm that works for you — not the other way around.
More questions? I love that! Book a no-pressure 30-minute exploratory chat and let's get into it.
