A Self-Portrait in Sound
Jessica Sierra shared profound insights into the track and her late husband's vision:
"Malo is a self-portrait of sorts; the lyrics in Spanish literally say 'soy Bueno, soy Malo' aka 'I’m good, I’m bad,' which is fitting for Matt as a complex being. The album art is literally modeled after a photo of Matt when he dressed up as a devil for Halloween one year. He teased this new direction in a set he played in San Diego in January 2025."
The Summit: A Dream Continues
Matt's ambition extended beyond individual tracks; he was passionately working on launching his own music label, aptly named The Summit. This wasn't just a label; it was also the name of his eagerly anticipated event series, with the inaugural event brilliantly planned last year at Grand Masters Recording in Hollywood. It was Matt's profound dream to see both the label and these groundbreaking events come to life, and Jessica is determined to make that dream a reality.
In a beautiful and poignant tribute, Matt's family recently lit a star on a mountain in El Paso, which shone a radiant red last night. This breathtaking gesture was in loving memory of Matthew Edward Sierra, on behalf of his cherished children, Natalia, Teddy, and Ollie. May his light continue to shine brightly in the hearts of all who loved him, and may his music continue to inspire us all!
