Social Music Website Melody Fusion Awards Matthew Sams His Second Monthly Contest Victory

Chicago-based musician, Matthew Sams, wins his second monthly contest on the website for posting the most songs.

Melody Fusion, a musician social media website that hosts monthly contests for its members, recently announced Matthew Sams as the winner of its June contest for posting the most songs. His prize was a hooded sweatshirt with Melody Fusion’s logo.

Each month the website has a different themed contest, and a different prize. However, the prize is always valued at $100 retail. In June the contest was for who could post the most tracks on the website. The tracks had to be original, and there was no limit to how many a member could post. Matt Sams, who is undertaking a unique project of his own (publishing a new track every single day for the entire year of 2014) won the contest with 118 posted tracks.

In a statement Matthew said that he is “Rolling right along with this project.” He says the biggest challenge he has is settling on a sound he likes. “There have been days where I've scrapped almost complete songs because I didn't like the feel of it that day. Some days I scrap more than one and start over from scratch.”

For the July contest Melody Fusion has announced that they will award the member who posts the best Master Class, which is described on their website as being an article or video in which the member explains how to master a music-related topic.

Melody Fusion is a musician social media website that allows its users to join free, upload songs, and promote gigs, among many other things. The website will soon feature a classifieds section that will allow users to browse for music-related goods and services.
