Mat Alba on SoundBetter

I care about feel and groove.

I've been producing for over a decade and I am constantly investigating different genres, instruments and tools. I have produced records for multiple artists, I've recorded for movie soundtracks, and I work as a session guitarist, bassist, vocalist and percussionist in Buenos Aires.

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.
