Recording Studio Engineering

Matt has worked with numerous mainstream artists including John Legend, A.R. Rahman, Fabolous, Angel Taylor and Laura Izibor.[3] His work includes studio recording and mixing for major labels, independent labels, music houses and corporate clients.

Mobile Recording

In addition to his studio work, he created Equal Sonics,[4] a professional grade mobile recording studio. Equal Sonics enables Matt to bring his recording and mixing abilities to anyone, anywhere.[5] A few notable acts that have been recorded by Equal Sonics are Sublime with Rome, LMFAO, We The Kings, Less Than Jake, New Found Glory, Jonathan Batiste and Tinie Tempah.

Benefit Recordings

Matt has engaged in benefit recordings to celebrate prestigious organizations and their efforts to support the musical community. Such an event took place in the summer of 2011 to honor From The Top [6] and their new Center for the Development of Arts Leaders (CDAL) Boston with the track "And The Sound is Music." Another benefit recording was in early 2011 to celebrate Wingspan Arts [7] and their extraordinary outreach program with the track "Blackbird (Fly Into The Light)."
In 2013, calling upon the talented musicians of CDZA, Matt put on a big band gala in the ballroom of The Hallmark (Battery Park City’s senior residence).[8] The goal of the evening was to recreate the zeitgeist of the early 1930s big band era for the center’s residents while raising money for Alzheimer’s research. The night was recorded and released as a digital download on Bandcamp. All ticket and record sales were benefited the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America.
