What People Say About Us
Matt has so much knowledge about the ins and outs of the underground music scene and beyond and his willingness to share the wealth is fantastic. Have done two challenges with Dropout Media and Dewar Pr to date and plan on continuing. even if you’re a musician who “knows” it all already. They’re are many fantastic tips from genuine people that might seriously give what “you know” a run for its money! Highly recommended!
