Matt McGinley

Independent

I'm an Upstate New York native lucky enough to have worked in the music industry for 15 years. Initially, as a co-founding member of the band Gym Class Heroes.

Currently, Im a contributing music producer to the nationally syndicated radio show, This American Life. Additionally, I've created music for other critically acclaimed podcasts, including Serial and S-Town.

I love to tour and perform and have worked alongside such artists as Bruno Mars, Adam Levine, Ryan Tedder, Ryn Weaver, Patrick Stump, Estelle, Busta Rhymes, Cypress Hill, and Travie McCoy.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    That initial moment when a spark of an idea starts to bloom and take a more definite form. When that thing that you've internalized in your mind aligns with the sound being produced in the room, studio, or stage.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Be bold, take chances, and dare to suck! Put yourself into as many musical situations as possible and build a wide musical vocabulary. Above all, be a good hang; you'll get plenty of opportunities if you're enjoyable to be around.
