Matt Emick
Greetings! My name is Matt Emick, and I am your Sales Engineer. The guitar and recording bug bit me very early on (be careful, it is very contagious!). This affliction has lead me on an amazing journey working with a multitude of different artists. Since then, I have been absorbing as much information as I can about recording, playing, and achieving great sounds. This is probably one of the reasons I love working for Sweetwater: every couple of days I add new tools to my working knowledge of instruments and music. I look forward to sharing my expertise with you!
Having years of experience as an audio engineer, as well as having helped hundreds of clients achieve their goals, I am totally confident that I will be a valuable asset to you!
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

After a long and late night session at the recording studio, I fell asleep at the wheel of my car and hit a guardpost. At that point I knew I needed something with more normal working hours.

At this time, everyone I know that would buy music gear already knows about Sweetwater, but every time I meet someone new who plays or records, I make sure to tell them about you. I've always been a huge champion of of Sweetwater's selection and customer service and will continue to promote. I should also mention that Matt Emick has always been super nice and incredibly helpful. I also appreciate the candy. It's a nice touch. Thanks for everything!

Buying gear doesn't get any better than Sweetwater. Matt Emick is the best sales person I've done business with in the last 54 years of playing music.All the other music stores are closed as far as I'm concerned.
