Billboard recording artist and Broadway veteran Matt Zarley has received critical acclaim as an out LGBTQ artist for years. So, Pride Month seems like a great time to revisit his award-winning single, “Change Begins With Me.”
In 2012, Zarley scored the 2012 OUTmusic Single of the Year and Album of the Year.
He’s alright – if you like talent. I never grow tired of this.
It’s worth noting Zarley was never closeted as an artist. Long before it was considered ‘brave’ decided to come out, Zarley proudly took center stage – no mask, no hiding.
In a 2019 Instagram post in honor of Pride Month, he wrote: “When I released my very first recording in 2002, I was out. I have always been out. I was out when some called it brave and a risk to be. I was just me.”
