"Matt Puts a lot of time, effort and, energy into playing really positive high energy sets for Euro-Corp and the other clubs we collaborate with in the VR space, which is especially impressive as we accommodate international time zones, which are not always convenient for the performer. Matt's always great to work with as a performer and as a host helping us manage our events at all hours." ~ Ridik_Ulass
"Matt is an extremely talented and dedicated person. He has been a pleasure to work with both as an artist and as a professional. I can't wait to see how he develops as a performer." ~ Just Party
