So this feels pretty surreal, but nonetheless here we are! I’d like to take a minute to tell you about my new project, the Up All Night EP.

My goal for this EP was to create a cohesive sonic world over multiple tracks. The EP format is challenging in this sense, because I really wanted the songs to feel like they belonged together and not just like they were 5 singles strung together into a neat little package.

My concept for the EP was to tell a story that takes place over one day and night spent in Los Angeles; all of these songs are based off of real experiences I had while I finished up my last semester at USC. This project was born and finished in my bedroom, where I wrote, produced and sang on every track!

Featured on the EP are two classmates of mine - Lani Renaldo and Kiki Halliday – both of whom are amazing singer/songwriters in their own right. (I love you guys!)

So- now that I've graduated- it feels right to release this whole EP and get it out there! I’m ready to let these songs out into the world and move on to the next project. There’s a lot of heart, feelings and memories in here… so I hope that this EP finds you this summer and becomes part of your summer soundtrack, too.

~~~~~

Lastly, this EP would not exist without the help of some talented, amazing friends of mine:

Jeff Sontag- my engineer who recorded “I Just Want You” with me last fall. We had many sessions together to get all the vocals needed for this project (the vocals on the EP are actually a blend of vocals we recorded in his studio and vocals that I recorded in my own room!), and he always puts up with my shenanigans.

Peter Rugo- my manager. thank you for believing in me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Kevin Chapman- Kevin’s been mastering my stuff since the start. Thanks for getting these tunes sounding huge, and I’m sorry for constantly making you tweak the smallest things ha

Josh Taylor & Justin Jay – More USC homies. These guys helped encourage me to make this whole thing happen in the first place

Carina Glastris- took the photo that I ended up using for the EP artwork. love it!

Cygne Cooper- crushed it on the typography for the EP cover

Lau- <3

aaaand I've got to thank all my friends who put up with me over the last 6 months, while listening to these tracks and sharing your opinions and advice. You know who you are!!!!!

So there you have it. 5 new songs!! If you vibe with it, please show it to your friends, too. Hopefully I’ll see all of you at a show sometime soon ☺

Love,
Matt

Blackbear - 90210 ft. G-Eazy (Matt DiMona Remix)

free dl on bandcamp: https://mattdimona.bandcamp.com/track/i-just-want-you

well here it is! my first original. holy shit... i am so thrilled (and terrified) to finally be releasing this song!! i wrote "I Just Want You" at the end of last spring; it's a song about a girl who means a lot to me, and how i felt when i met her for the first time. if you know me well, you know that i've been writing songs ever since i started making garageband beats in middle school... now that i am about to graduate college in the spring, it feels right to finally put myself out there as a singer and songwriter in addition to being a producer and dj! this isn't a perfect song by any means, but it absolutely means the world to me and i really hope it will mean the world to some of you, too.

special thanks to kevin chapman for lending me his mastering talents, and to jeff sontag for lending me his studio and helping me record my vocals- you guys are the greatest.

recommended: drive to the ocean with somebody you care about and play this song as loud as you can with the windows down <3

love,
matt

lyrics:
girl,
i can see you from across the room, yea
you're wearing that black dress
and i think i'm falling in love with you, whoa

i never thought i'd feel this way again
but somehow you've got yourself under my skin
watching you dance i'm tryna take it all in 
but i can't stay cool

i don't even know if you know my name
i don't even know if you feel the same
i just want you, 
i just want you

ooooooooooo
i just want you,
i just want you

and i'm hoping that you want me too, yea
you're wearing that dark lipstick
girl i think i'm stuck on you, whoa

i never thought i'd feel this way again
but somehow you've got yourself under my skin
watching you dance i'm tryna take it all in 
but i can't stay cool

i don't even know if you know my name
i don't even know if you feel the same
i just want you, 
i just want you

ooooooooooo
i just want you,
i just want you

a song about staying up

Track 5/5 on the Up All Night EP

lyrics:

it's 3am and i'm wide awake
staring at the moonlight
coming through my windowpane

smoke in the air, got me feeling this way
never been so high
but you keep me flying

i can't remember who i was
before i met you
that one night last year

but now i've got you by my side
right here

i wanna stay up all night
all night, with you
i wanna stay up all night
all night, with youuuuu
hey

show me your secrets, i'll be your keeper
we can set the sky on fire
i wanna stay up all night
all night, with youuuuu
hey

it's 4am and we're up somehow
sittin on the carpet, dancing in the clouds and

i'm so gone, but i feel alive
never been so high
but you keep me climbing

i can't remember who i was
before i met you
that one night last year

but now i've got you by my side
right here

i wanna stay up all night
all night, with you
i wanna stay up all night, 
all night, with youuuuu
hey

show me your secrets, i'll be your keeper
we can set the sky on fire
i wanna stay up all night
all night, with youuuuu
hey

and when the morning comes, 
i hope you stay around
yea when the morning comes,
i hope you stay around

i can't remember who i was
before i met you
that one night last year

but now i've got you by my side
right here

i wanna stay up all night
all night, with you
i wanna stay up all night
all night, with youuuuu

a song about slow dancing, feat. @kikihalliday

Track 4/5 on the Up All Night EP

lyrics:

orange lights, down low
i can feel your heart beat with mine
hold me close, time slows
and when we touch the world goes quiet

i had a revelation
i never wanna let you go
so no more conversation
there's something that i got to show you

boy, you make me feel like
i'm living a kaleidoscope dream
and everything seems just right

when i'm next to you
boy it's just us two
slow dancing in my room
can't keep my hands off you
when i'm next to you

it goes on and on and on and,
it goes on and i am falling
it goes on and on and on and,
we gon' stay up to the morning
(x2)

i had a revelation
i never wanna let you go
so no more conversation
there's something that i got to show you

boy, you make me feel like
i'm living a kaleidoscope dream
and everything seems just right

when i'm next to you
boy it's just us two
slow dancing in my room
can't keep my hands off you
when i'm next to you

oooh
boy it's just us two
slow dancing in my room
can't keep my hands off you
when i'm next to you

oooh
next to you
oooh
when i'm next to you

a song about not letting go

Track 2/5 on the Up All Night EP

lyrics:

moving on, moving out
pack up all my things
school is out, tell me now
what am i supposed to do?

got no job, but i got these songs to sing
and i can't seem to let
you go

do you remember all the times we
kissed under the stars, and
drove to san diego in my car?

do you remember all the times we
fell in love again,
all the trips into the desert with our friends?

when we were younger
we had each other
but it's true, you know,
the story never ends

we'll stay forever
in the summer
i'll hold you in the universe we dreamt

promise me, that we'll stay
just like this all day

school is out, tell me now
what are we supposed to do?

promise me, don't let changes take this all away
i can't seem to let
you go

do you remember all the times we
kissed under the stars, and
drove to san diego in my car?

do you remember all the times we
fell in love again,
all the trips into the desert with our friends?

when we were younger
we had each other
but it's true, you know,
the story never ends

we'll stay forever
in the summer
i'll hold you in the universe we dreamt

tell me that you're holding on
tell me that you're holding on
hold on to me

tell me that you won't move on
tell me that you won't move on
move on from me

(x4)

do you remember all the times we
kissed under the stars, and
drove to san diego in my car?

do you remember all the times we
fell in love again,
all the trips into the desert with our friends?

when we were younger
we had each other
but it's true, you know,
the story never ends

we'll stay forever
in the summer
i'll hold you in the universe we dreamt

tell me that you're holding on
tell me that you're holding on
hold on to me

tell me that you won't move on
tell me that you won't move on
move on from me

(x2)

oooooooo
we'll stay forever
in the summer
i'll hold you in the universe we dreamt

a song about chasing a feeling, feat. @lanirenaldo

Track 1/5 on the Up All Night EP

lyrics:

last night i think i drank too much
don't even know what we did
lately i've been feeling out of touch
don't even know where i've been

i could stay in bed all day
but my family's in town
said i'd meet them at the villa at 3

i put visine in my eyes
i showered just in time
but i can't help this feeling

this is that cruisin' down the PCH
bangin' on these 808s
tryna get to malibu

this is that california dreamin'
summer by the sea, yea
tryna find my way back to you

malibuu, malibuu, malibuuUuUuUu
malibuu, malibuu, you're so bluuuuUuUuUue

last night we stayed up way too late (too late)
like we were still just 18
is this ever really what it seems?
purple haze memories

i could stay in bed all day
but my family's in town
said i'd meet them at the villa at 3

i put visine in my eyes
i showered just in time
but i can't help this feeling

this is that cruisin' down the PCH
bangin' on these 808s
tryna get to malibu

this is that california dreamin'
summer by the sea, yea
tryna find my way back to you

malibuu, malibuu, malibuuUuUuUu
malibuu, malibuu, you're so bluuuuUuUuUue

mali-blue
cali green
i'll be here
come find me
skies of pink
tangerine
wish i never
had to leave

this is that cruisin' down the PCH
bangin' on these 808s
drivin' home from malibu

this is that california dreamin'
summer by the sea, yea
tryna find my way back to you

malibuu, malibuu, malibuuUuUuUu
malibuu, malibuu, you're so bluuuuUuUuUue

malibuu, malibuu, malibuuUuUuUu
malibuu, malibuu, you're so blue

so blue

lyrics:

palm trees 
light breeze 
wish i had more nights like these 
just the two of us 
getting spiritual 

peace signs 
your eyes 
girl you know you look so fine, it’s 
just the two of us 
and your stereo 

spin the rhythm of my soul 
like old school turntables 
baby you can pick the song 
just put that record on 
girl, play me all night long 

oooh 
like old school turntables 
oooh 
like old school turntables 

white wine 
nice high 
a little somethin’ to feel the vibe, it’s 
just the two of us 
til tomorrow comes 

it’s alright 
we laugh and cry 
baby, you and i will be just fine, it’s 
just the two of us 
and your stereo 

spin the rhythm of my soul 
like old school turntables 
baby you can pick the song 
just put that record on 
girl, play me all night long 

oooh 
like old school turntables 
oooh 
like old school turntables 

girl your melody’s divine 
i feel my heart beating in time 
if you can’t hear it we’ll rewind 
we’ll rewind 
let the record find it’s groove 
as i fall in bed with you, oh 

spin the rhythm of my soul 
like old school turntables 
baby you can pick the song 
just put that record on 
girl, play me all night long 

oooh 
like old school turntables 
oooh 
like old school turntables

Old School Turntables

*released april 26th 2018*

sometimes i feel like crazy
i don’t know why i fight with you
especially since lately
it seems like everything you do, you do for me

well you’re my baby
and i’m sorry if i get you down, sometimes
girl i think you saved me, yea
you picked me right up off the ground

and i just hope you know
that i don’t need no body
i just wanna pull your body close
take my hand

baby, tell me do you feel it like i do?
i keep falling more in love with you

sometimes i feel like crazy
kissing in your living room
i love it when we’re lazy
we can melt away the afternoon

well you’re my baby
and i know you’ll always keep it true
when the world is hazy
the only thing i see is you

and i just hope you know
that i don’t need no body
i just wanna pull your body close
take my hand

baby, we could head out and run
drive west towards to the sun
in the evening light
i don’t care where we go
when i’m by your side

baby, tell me do you feel it like i do? (like i do)
i keep falling more in love with you (with you)
tell me do you feel it like i do? (like i do)
do i make you feel like crazy, too?

like crazy, like crazy, like crazy
like crazy, like crazy, like crazy

Like Crazy

*i wrote this demo with my roommate tyler in 2016*

she tastes like green tea ice cream
when we kiss
i swear there's never been
a sweeter pair of lips

she's of my dreams, made real
i'm convinced
she keeps me warm
on cold nights just like this

incandescent girl
she wears my clothes
with her short brown hair
and freckled nose

she's a magic girl
she leaves me notes
little whispered words
for when i'm low

oh, i wanna tell her but she probably knows
oh, i wanna tell her but she probably knows
oh, i wanna tell her but she probably knows
that i love her so

oh, i wanna tell her but she probably knows
oh, i wanna tell her but she probably knows
oh, i wanna tell her but she probably knows
that i love her so

she tastes like green tea ice cream
so sweet

green tea ice cream

madi !!!

having fun on soundcloud . com

happy summer!
