Richard Schroder has been refining his craft as a songwriter for a decade. In that time, he’s found his voice and developed an authentic style that includes country, rock, folk and holiday music. “I’m deeply proud of the work I’ve made.”

Richard’s team includes Steve Seskin, a Nashville hit songwriter (Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney). “No one’s had a greater impact on me than Steve.” Nashville producer Matt McClure (Lee Brice, Blake Shelton) oversees Richard’s work. “There’s nothing like making music with Matt and world-class musicians.”

Schroder’s made eight albums: Drive (2017), Skyline (2019), The Stillness (2021), Allegory (2022), Storyteller (2023), Rainy Day Instrumentals (2024), Nashville Drive (2024), Nothin’ Like Christmas Eve (2024), and All Love (2025).

He’s had songs featured on popular TV and is among the top 2% of artists on Spotify. One of his songs, “Don’t You Grow Up on Me Now,” has over 10,000 fan-created videos on TikTok / Instagram.

Whatever Happened to Love

Tom Shapiro and I wrote this in the early 2000's and Curtis Wright is singing. It's inspired by me growing up in Shelby, NC and my affection for small southern towns and the folks who live there. I heard all of this in my youth; I suspect you can hear it to this day ;-)

Music to My Ears

Tom Shapiro and I wrote this 20 years ago.  Kinda has a George Strait vibe to it, but it never got cut.  Still love the demo though ;-)

What I Love About Loving You

IN YOU (I FOUND ME)

Making music that comes from the heart and touches the soul...that's what Matt VanFossen does best.
His latest single is no exception. Produced by Mike Ofca at Innovation Studios and written by Mallary Hope “Get Me Now” is a song that talks about overcoming heartbreak. The lyrics "You might still get to me somehow, but you don’t get to get me now" are powerful and relatable to all.
It's about letting go....knowing you deserve better, and finding that strength to leave the past behind. Everyone has that certain someone in their lives that they'd like to say  you missed your chance... you lost the best thing that ever happened to you. Matt's powerful and heartfelt vocals grab you from the first note.
Matt VanFossen is not your average cookie-cutter country artist. He is real, honest, and true to the music he loves. Through his personal tragedy and triumphs, music has always been there.
