Matt's Bio

Every special occasion needs great entertainment and a friendly, yet confident person to take charge and coordinate everything. I am that person, and would love to share my MC abilities, DJ skills, and experience to make your event memorable.

I began working with Sounds Abound in May of 2007 when I was given the opportunity to work with and learn from the other DJs in the company. After about a year of training, I began taking on events as lead MC, and since then, I have been in charge of hundreds of parties. I feel that my experience and musical knowledge along with my outgoing and friendly personality make me the perfect fit for any type of gathering, from weddings to school dances to corporate functions.

One of the best things about being a DJ is that I truly love ALL kinds of music! I’m a huge fan of soul, R&B, and hip-hop; and I enjoy anything from rock to house, country to jazz, new and old. That being said, a big part of my job is to be flexible. I will try to find out as much as possible about YOUR preferences so that I can personalize your event to fit YOU. It is my goal to make sure that your special occasion goes exactly the way you want it to, and that all you have to do when you arrive at your event is sit back, relax, and enjoy yourself with all of your guests. I thank you for taking the time to learn about me, and I look forward to having the opportunity to assure your party is one for the ages!

We Can’t Recommend Enough

We worked with Matt Ammons through Sounds Abound and he did an excellent job as our DJ. The dance floor was packed, he did a great job announcing our wedding party, and played a wonderful variety of music. We also rented a photobooth through Sounds abound which was a lot of fun for our guests. We can’t recommend this service enough!

Fantastic Work!

Sounds Abound and more specifically Matt Ammons were fantastic to work with for our wedding! Their online planning tool is easy to use and helpful to organize all your music needs for the big day. Matt was fun, energetic, and great to work with. He knew how to keep the dance floor full by playing to the crowd we had along with mixing in our favorites. Matt even went so far to timing our walk in music perfectly without us even telling him. I would definitely recommend Sounds Abound for any DJ needs, and especially Matt!

Sounds Abound Hands Down the Best DJ Company

From start to finish Sounds Abound was hands down the best DJ company to work with. They walked you through all their options and how to work their client portal. They sent us links to the DJ’s so we could see some of their work in action in order to pick the best one for our wedding. Matt did a terrific job and I am so glad we picked him. He helped keep the night flowing and the energy going. Seriously the best DJ and best company for your event!

Best Decision Made

We chose Sounds Abound company for our DJ for our wedding at the Haight. It was the best decision we could have made. Not only was everything perfect Matt set the fun wild mood of our family and friends. Matt was so personable and perfect for our special day. He had been to the Haight for multiple weddings before so he was also familiar with setup and all that. We had a great time. We also used him for my husbands sisters wedding years back. It was a great time. Sounds Abound was a perfect choice. Thank you for making our special day as amazing as we hoped!

Matt did a Fantastic Job!

We recently worked with Matt Ammons as our wedding DJ from Sounds Abound. Matt did an absolutely fantastic Job as our DJ, and we couldn’t be happier with how the night went! He kept things moving throughout the evening and worked really well with our photographer. Our guests really enjoyed the atmosphere he created for the cocktail hour and during dinner. Since our wedding was on a Sunday, a number of guests couldn’t stay for much of the dancing, but for those who could, Matt kept us energized and on our feet until the very end. We would highly recommend him if you are looking for a DJ for your special event. Matt’s assistant for the evening was Vince, who also ran our photo booth from Sounds Abound. Our guests loved the photobooth and left us a lot of fun and funny images for our guest book. Overall, Sounds Abound was a pleasure to work with-friendly, communicative, and flexible, and we would highly recommend them! Thank you all so much!

Lots of Experience

I would definitely recommend Matt and Sounds abound to friends or family looking for entertainment for any type of event in the future.

10/10 Couldn’t Recommend More

We got married months ago & still have people commenting about how fun the wedding was thanks to the music. The music kept people on their feet all night! Matt Ammons was our DJ and he did a phenomenal job at reading the audience. We didn’t make too many requests and let him do his thing & were not disappointed. Thank you! Wish we could do it 100 more times!

Kate & Sean

Absolutely Fantastic

We are very happy to have retained Sounds Abound and specifically DJ Matt Ammons for our wedding! Making specific requests of Sounds Abound via their tool was easy, especially as our first dance song changed twice, and Matt himself was absolutely fantastic night of even with our very small guest list of somewhat older folks who are more accustomed to “Shout” than “Get Low”. Matt and Sounds Abound rolled with it, were prompt and professional, and I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone getting married.

Highest Recommendation!

We had DJ Matt Ammons with Sounds Abound for our wedding celebrating on NYE weekend, and we give our highest recommendation to him! He had our event run super smoothly from cocktail hour to bridal party entrance to first dances and speeches to our most favorite event at a wedding-DANCING! We are MAJOR dance floor people and wanted to make sure our dance floor was full and energetic the whole night, and Matt definitely made that vision come to life for us. I cannot thank him enough for ensuring we had a fabulous evening to remember! He even made a cool instagram reel of videos from the night…so awesome!

Alexandra & Nicholas

Easiest Parts of our Wedding!

Our venue recommend Sounds Abound to us as one of their recommended DJs and we are so thankful they did!! The whole process of booking a DJ through Sounds Abound was extremely easy, and honestly one of the easiest parts of our wedding! On the Sounds Abound platform, they make it super easy for you to choose the must play songs, songs you also like, and songs you don’t want – they also have a great section to choose what type of genre you want for dinner and cocktail hour (which I hadn’t even thought of!). Highly recommend Matt Ammons – he is the BEST. We honestly didn’t pick a whole lot of songs (mostly focused on must play songs), but he understood the crowd and played songs for everyone! The older folks were dancing and the younger crowd loved the music as well! We got SO many compliments and quite a few “Where’d you find this guy?? I LOVE him” comments. Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ/MC for our wedding. 12/10 would recommend Matt Ammons and Sounds Abound!
