MATT PERRY
As an engineer & producer, I specialize in high-quality commercial audio, voiceover, podcast production, and full remote-directed recording sessions. I regularly host livestream sessions with talent on-site while directors and script teams join in via Zoom or Source Connect. I’ve worked with major clients including Blind Light Media (Despicable Me, The Avengers, Guild Wars 2), ESPN, Adobe, and Google.
As an official Apple Certified Logic Pro producer, I’ve worked on records for New England’s top artists and regularly collaborate with Grammy Award-winning musicians like Dave Gutter (David Bowie, Imogen Heap, Aaron Neville) and Evan Smith (Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Kendrick Lamar).
