About Matt Urmy, CEO of Artist Growth

Artist Growth Founder and CEO Matt Urmy knows what life is like for artists. His decade-long experience as a touring artist and songwriter inspired him to create a platform that could help artists secure creative freedom through financial independence. Leaving college to pursue his musical dream, he spent the better part of the next decade on the road, slinging music independently and attracting a faithful audience. 

In 2010, he recorded Out of the Ashes with iconic producer Cowboy Jack Clement [George Jones, Johnny Cash, Townes Van Zandt, Alison Krauss] behind the board. After a fire destroyed Clement’s studio, Urmy put his focus into his vision for AG while he was waiting to hear if his album could be salvaged from backup files. Ultimately, AG launched in January 2012 and Vector Management became an early adopter of the platform, followed by the likes of Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, and many more. 

Along the way, Entrepreneur named him among the eight “Best Motivators in Business,” while The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, NBC News, and others have covered his journey. Under his purview, the Artist Growth platform has become entrenched as an indispensable tool for major labels, management companies, and independent creators.
