Brand Story
Where Nostalgia Meets New Music
Founded by Matthew Kenneth Gray, a Watsonville native now based in Bloomington, IL.
"You know those music genres that you loved as you were growing up in the 70s, 80s and 90s? I loved them too. What I'm doing as a song stylist, producer & ASCAP publisher is reconnecting to that nostalgic feeling in order to serve those who want more songs that are dedicated to preserve those eras we love while creating new musical lanes."
Matt Gray of Azweso Songs was present at the ASCAP Experience in Hollywood for a special presentation honoring Adam Sandler. Witnessing that moment firsthand sparked a powerful realization: Comedy Music plays a vital role in the Entertainment Industry. Inspired, Matt has since expanded the Azweso Songs catalog to include comedic songs — bringing laughter and levity alongside the nostalgic sounds he has always championed.
