GOLD COAST, Australia, Sept. 30, 2025 /Standard Newswire/ — After a life-changing medical crisis in 2024, lyricist Matt Halloran has transformed decades of creative ideas into reality with his songwriting project, Wildlive.
In May 2024, at just 59 years of age, Halloran survived a sudden and near-fatal aortic dissection, enduring four major surgeries, kidney failure, dialysis, multiple transfusions, and the insertion of ten life saving stents during a traumatic five-week hospital stay. Despite lasting damage and reduced kidney function, his recovery has inspired a new outlook: to live with renewed purpose and creativity.
“Something had to change,” says Halloran. “I’d buried my creative calling for too long, and the parable of the talents in Matthew 24 was becoming a burning bush I just couldn’t ignore any more in light of the circumstance I found myself in. Time is short, and it would be remiss of me not to give this a go while I still have life to live. God has given me a second chance.”
Wildlive Music is the result — a project fueled by over 40 years of original lyrics, songwriting concepts, and Halloran’s past experience as a musician, radio host, promoter, and lyricist. With the help of modern technology and AI, Matt is able to craft his lyrics to produce fresh, contemporary, and commercially-ready music across multiple genres under this unique songwriting project.
This October, Wildlive releases its third album, “Celebrate The Love” — a joyful Christmas and holiday collection. From the gospel choir-inspired “Light of the World” to the funky, toe tapping “Yuletide Swing” or the playful “Santa’s Stuck in My Chimney”, the album promises cheer, warmth, and plenty of festive feels over 13 uniquely inspired tracks.
With resilience, faith, and creativity at its core, Wildlive is more than music — it’s a celebration of survival, renewal, and the joy of song. This Christmas, Matt invites you to come and Celebrate The Love. The album will be available on all major streaming platforms from Friday October 3rd, 2025.
