Garrett Pratt
I’m a proud father, husband, and lifelong musician with over 20 years of experience in the world of music. My journey began the moment I picked up a guitar — and I was hooked. Music quickly became the language I wanted to speak fluently.
Since high school, I’ve been performing with lifelong friends in various bands and projects, and exploring the world of recording to help produce our music. Along the way, I discovered that my greatest passion lies in helping other musicians achieve their goals.
For nearly a decade, I’ve worked in the music industry, specializing in Pro Audio, Guitars, Bass Guitars, Synths, PA System Design, Lighting Design, Wireless Systems, DJ Equipment, Drums, and other instruments.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to upgrade your setup, I’m excited to get to know you and help you find the perfect gear for your specific needs!
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.
