Meet Matthew Novick

Today we’d like to introduce you to Matthew Novick.

Matthew, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
From humble beginnings as a 16-year-old DJ from Northeast Ohio, what started as a small hobby has since grown into a nationally-recognized and respected brand. First receiving the nickname “Mattitude” from an early on-air internship at iHeartRadio in 2014, it has been amazing to see it become such a name of notoriety in my hometown. Fast forward to nearly a decade later, and you’ll find a rap sheet riddled with radio mix shows, corporate sponsorships, concerts and headlining club sets, and so much more. It’s this same rap sheet that continues to prove to potential clients the credibility and experience that I can bring to the table for them.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I think it’s safe to say that most creatives have ups and downs in their career. With extended periods of either not being super uncommon, it can truly begin to turn into a game of perseverance. How long can you keep up with the bills if your operation isn’t covering them? Do you have the patience to work and wait for the opportunities to come, even if it means months or years longer than your idols or fellow artisans? The ability to remain focused and dedicated to whatever you’re passionate about while blocking out the distractions is certainly an acquired skill. Perhaps one directly related to how bad you truly want to see your personal goals met. Yet with any venture or journey that one might choose to pursue, it’s worth remembering the old saying “Nothing worth having comes easy”. And ask yourself – If it were really so attainable, would you really be getting the same satisfaction yourself?

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
With experience and a skill set that exceeds far beyond his years, Mattitude’s unrelenting passion for music has proven himself to be one of the most energetic & sought-after entertainers in his region. Growing from humble beginnings in his hometown of Cleveland, Mattitude’s wherewithal and passion for music has lead him to rock stages and venues all across the state and beyond. With over 10 years of corporate partnerships and major artist support under his belt, it’s no wonder Mattitude’s incredibly creative & eccentric open format DJ sets have earned him the reputation of a crowd favorite; Capable of rocking any party, anywhere, at any time.

The crisis has affected us all in different ways. How has it affected you and any important lessons or epiphanies you can share with us?
Always be prepared for anything, and the ability to pivot in an ever-changing environment is an ability that can be utilized in any area of life.
