Christopher Finton
I am a college graduate with a degree in multimedia arts and technology from Western Michigan University. I’ve been involved in music all my life from learning how to play the piano with my dad when I was five years old to eventually learning trombone, guitar, and even how to DJ.
On top of learning how to play a multitude of instruments, for the past several years, I’ve written, mixed, and mastered all of my own music.
When I’m not writing my own tunes, I love taking time to dive into new releases from artists across nearly every genre, helping me build a huge library to both listen to and DJ from.
This passion for listening to and creating music has followed me to Sweetwater, and I’m extremely excited to help people make music that they can be proud of!
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

If you could join any band, what band would it be?
I’ve always thought it’d be fun to play with IDLES, but I think it’d be a bit tough to keep up with Joe Talbot’s energy.

Absolutely amazed by the personal service on our order! It is obvious customer satisfaction is a priority. Your company would be the first place we would look for music related items. Great prices, great service and BTW, even the little touch of adding some candy made my kids very pleased! Thank you!
