I have worked as a studio owner and operator for the last 8 years, specializing in music recording, mixing and writing. I am primarily a drummer, which offers a lot of insight to the importance of edi... ting and getting great production recording takes.

I learned alot there about the importance of dynamics, technical fundamentals like gain staging before even playing a single note and the tricks to blending sound either in a live setting or in a studio. read more

Hi! I’m Matt! I’m from the Los Angeles area currently living in Michigan. I’m a musician and drummer for the band Norma Jean. When I’m on on tour with the band or in the studio, I spend as much time a... s possible watching my toddler grow. He’s a huge reason for me to continue the pursuit of music and now, teaching. Watching him learn and how excited I get to see him developing new skills every day is inspiring me to pass on what I know. In music world, I learned a lot of lessons on my own. But every now and then, someone great came around that would mentor me with everything from drum playing to music production. With having great mentors myself in Los Angeles, I learned something important that I love to share with others. It’s the quote that says “if you win, everybody wins”. I carry this quote with me in order to pass down what I know and have learned to others so they can succeed. In others success, there is success for others. Wherever your musical journey takes you, I hope what I teach you will help pave a clear path for the next step!read more
