MATT GARRISON

Madison, Wisconsin

Matt Garrison is a DJ in Madison, Wisconsin, regularly spinning tunes for the Madison West Coast Swing Club. Matt’s DJ journey began in 2015 when he volunteered for the vacant head DJ role for the club. He quickly fell in love with DJing, bringing in fresh music and an approach to song selection that appealed to an expanding audience of dancers. Over the years, Matt has worked with several national DJs and honed his style to make sure everyone feels included in the music, while always bringing in new songs to fuel an evolving dance vibe. Matt has also trained & mentored the other DJs in his community over the years and loves to see their individual styles thrive on the dance floor.

Matt highly values the community aspect of West Coast Swing, and as such has served for many years on the board of directors for the Madison WCS Club, including as president. By day, Matt is an electrical engineer designing theatrical lighting control products, which are frequently used in the hotel ballrooms we all dance in at weekend events!
