Electronic Music Producer & Educator - Professor at Remington College

Matthew Z.

Whether you're an experienced music producer looking to expand your knowledge or a newcomer unsure of where to begin, I offer guidance to students of all ages and backgrounds to achieve their creative aspirations. Currently, I serve as program chair of the Beats Program at Remington College in Nashville, where I teach Beat Making, Mixing/Mastering, Vocal Production, and Sound Design for Ableton and Push at all skill levels.

As an educator, my primary focus is understanding your goals in music. Do you want to learn how to make a sound from your favorite song? Struggling to get consistently clean mixes? Perhaps you're aiming to improve your music marketing strategies for better results? Together, we'll streamline our approach to focus directly on what matters most: teaching you exactly what YOU want to achieve.

My journey in music began with a lifelong passion for drums and piano, but my fascination with music production truly ignited during my early college years at the University of Utah. Sharing my creations on Soundcloud helped me cultivate a dedicated following drawn to my innovative production style. Since then, my music has garnered millions of streams on various platforms, been featured on television, and afforded me the privilege of collaborating and performing with esteemed artists worldwide. While I specialize in Electronic Music and Hip Hop Beat Making, with expertise in composition, sound design, and mixing, my experience spans diverse genres including Alternative, RnB, Jazz, and Country.

Digital Audio Workstations like Ableton are vast toolboxes awaiting exploration and manipulation—a repository where any creative concept can be realized with the right skills, dedication, and youthful curiosity. Throughout my career, I've made many mistakes while refining my skills and carving out a place in the music industry. Having overcome these obstacles, I now consider it a privilege to pass on my expertise so that students can avoid those same pitfalls.
