Matthew Koma Blasts Zedd on Social Media Regarding Unfair Treatment in Hit Songs
Koma argues Zedd never credited him for tracks like “Clarity”
Matthew Koma has long written and lent his vocals to some of EDM’s biggest songs. His collaborations have seen him partner with the likes of Tiesto, Vicetone, Alesso, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Hardwell to name a few. However, one of his most successful partnerships has also been one of the least credited, that being the work he did with Zedd.
Early in his career, Zedd worked with Koma in two of his biggest tracks, “Clarity” and “Spectrum”. Koma wrote the lyrics for both tracks and was the vocalist on “Spectrum”, however, Koma argues that Zedd never credited him for it.
In a lengthy post on social media, Koma states that Zedd took credit for writing the songs and even prevented him from being paid. Koma then goes on to say that Zedd also denied him the release of a track called “Suitcase”, insisting it was released under the name “Zedd”.
The drawn-out allegation can be read below:
Notable artists backing Matthew Koma on his accusations include Tiesto, who wrote on his Instagram post “So sad to hear this man, you’re one of the most talented guys I know!”.
Zedd has not released a public statement regarding the matter.
