Matt Curran on SoundBetter

Performed live with Les Paul, Dave Mason, worked with some of NYC’s best engineers. Professionally recording since the age of 12.

Hey! My name is Matt Curran and I have been recording and performing live gigs with guitar since I was 11 years old in 2001, privileged to learn and play with national greats in New York City. Early on I was endorsed by Gibson and played with legendary Les Paul, and played with greats such as Dave Mason (Traffic, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix), Jeff Healy, and UK blues legend John Mayall. I have experience recording tracks for commerical and soundtrack work. Learned from sensai SONY recording engineer/musician Kirk Yano in my teens and other touring greats such as Hendrik Helmer and Alex Alexander.

I can create rhythm or lead guitar tracks with a luscious army selection of guitars and amps that will make your song very signature. I provide professional studio quality tracks every single time, and will work with you to get the final sound and feel just as you need it to be. We will collaborate and discuss fully exactly what you're needing, so you're guaranteed to be 100% happy with the result.

Once the project is complete, you will receive the 16 bit .wav isolated stems. I can also give you a free 30 second sample of my guitar playing on your song as an .mp3. I am available to work remotely, and guarantee solid communication with you and punctual turnaround time.

Send me an email through 'Contact' button above and I'll get back to you asap.
