For the English veteran singer/songwriter Matt Goss, social media is quite fascinating. Goss began his music career as the lead singer for the popular British band Bros. He is now living in the U.S. and currently headlining at the Palms in Las Vegas.
Goss is utilizing social media to get his message out to his fans all over the world. In spite of releasing albums for 20 years, he tells WebProNews that he has never seen the sense of immediacy that social media brings. Upon sending out a tweet, the singer receives hundreds of responses in a matter of minutes.
Social media also eliminates the middleman who has been a standard in industries such as the music industry for so long. The international star is now able connect directly with his fans and get true perspectives. Goss not only believes that it is important for celebrities to utilize social media, but he also emphasizes how important it is that everyone embrace it, saying it gives everyone a voice.
Although the Internet provides many liberties and outlets for users to freely express themselves, Goss wants his message to reflect value and respect for those who fought to give us the freedoms we have.

When someone in a lifetime touches your heart in the way that Matt Goss has; it stays with you forever. I have followed Matt and his music from the beginning … I will always be a better person because of him and to this day the Gossy Journey remains a great adventure. Come along for the ride guys you will not be disappointed – i promise. Matt is the and always will be the Real Deal!!xx He is the one and only true Diamond Geezer !x
I’ve followed Matt’s career continuously for 20 years and he has remained a gentleman throughout. He is respectful and always has time for his fans, who are the most loyal fans I know. Twitter is a fantastic way to talk to Matt and is definitely an improvement on the olden days when we had to rely on the “middle man” as Matt says. “Gossy” is a brilliant album from a hugely talented fantastic singer. Everyone should give it a listen! Well done, Matt on a great interview. xx
This Matt guy seems pretty cool, I had never heard of him until coming across this video. His point of view on social media is so true and I’m intrigued that he respects his elders. It is nice how he points out freedom and relates it to the social networking going on today. Also, I like his style, only a real man can pull off a vest or a sweater vest, as I prefer.
Good job wpn
This video is spot on… Social media is definitely an indispensible tool in our world today. With blogs, speech is finally free because we don’t have to go through traditional media filters like editors and publishers. Great interview Abby, and by the way, has anybody ever told you that you look like Jessica Alba?
Matt is right in socail networking that it makes the people feel closer to their models or idols!! Abby great job as usual, but who is this Matt guy??
It is absolutely massive and amazing affect social media made in a world. I agree with Matt and share his point of view on current and historic aspects of our lifes and time. Looking forward to more Matt Goss music .
