Cory Medina
I moved around a lot when I was growing up, but one thing always remained constant: the simple fact that I always had music and always sought it out. No matter where I was, I could play, write, record, and work in and around the music industry. It was my rock. This still holds true today.
Music has led me on an amazing journey, from discovering that I loved playing guitar at a young age to jamming with my friends, to being in a touring band, all the way to working at amazing venues and festivals around the country. I love being immersed in the music industry and helping people realize their dreams.
I’m a jack of all trades, and I look forward to helping you realize your musical dreams.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

Interview with Cory...
-
Cory Medina was exceptional. Very courteous in answering my questions. Never made me feel "inadequate" for not having certain knowledge about music production like other companies I've worked with. Made me feel he understood in my overall vision and goals and truly listened when I asked questions. It felt like I was talking to a friend. I plan on making future purchases with Sweetwater and I look forward to working with Cory again.

Cory Medina has been fantastic! Beginning with our pre-purchase introduction, Cory has exercised patience, courtesy, assistance, uncritical answers and has never been to proud to say "let me find out" pertaining to my specific questions. Cory was extremely helpful and understanding adjusting my order. He also diligently checks my satisfaction with my purchase. I have never been rushed, nor been perceived a burden due to my many inquiries. Cory Medina Is great at what he does! I tremendously appreciate his professional bearing.

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!

I have to say it's the most personal order I've ever made from the pre-ship phone call, to the email, and finally the candy in the box. Thanks! I don't think I could beat the customer service even in a local shop
