Matt Dolan
I’m a professional audio engineer with over a decade of experience in studio recording and live sound.
I grew up in Middletown, NJ, where summertime concerts with my family sparked my passion for music. That drive led me to pick up a guitar, earn a bachelor’s degree in Recording Arts, and dive into live sound work across Nashville and Orlando.
Before joining Sweetwater, I spent time in Los Angeles working sessions as an Assistant Engineer at one of the city’s top recording studios.
These days, I’m based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with my dog, Shadow, and my cat, Nugs, my two loyal “studio assistants.”
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.
