Matt Farley is an American filmmaker, musician, and songwriter who has released over 23,000 songs as of February 2022. His music is released under a variety of band names, which exceed 70, often correlate to the subject matter of their songs. For example, "Papa Razzi and the Photogs" release albums filled with songs about celebrities, and "The Hungry Food Band" releases songs about food. Thousands of songs celebrate birthdays with different names. Over 500 songs are "prom proposals" songs each sung with a different name. Yet another series of albums are composed completely of songs about towns within a U.S. state or other country, with lyrics derived from reading Wikipedia articles on each town. However, his most lucrative band is likely the "Toilet Bowl Cleaners", who sing songs about fecal matter. According to Farley, one song that contains only the word "poop" repeated over and over generates $500 in streaming revenue every month as of 2018, likely in part because children request it from Alexa or other devices. Farley earned over $23,000 in 2013 from his song catalog and $65,000 per year by 2018.
Much of Farley's output is piano-and-vocals compositions. Albums can run to 100 songs in length. Some of his albums, even from a band such as The Toilet Bowl Cleaners, contain more serious output; that band's 11th album is titled Mature Love Songs, none of which are about fecal matter. Farley's serious and non-lucrative albums are called "no jokes" albums. He previously had a day-job at a group home for teens but by 2017 his musical career was so lucrative that he was able to focus on it full-time. He has two children with his wife Elizabeth.
