About Matthew Sambolin

My passion for music has led me to a career in radio. I\'ve been fortunate to have worked at many great radio stations throughout Long Island, NY and New York City.In 2010 - I began my own internet based dance radio show entitled \'The Saturday Night Launch with Brink\'- where I programmed four hours of music weekly, interviewed artists and celebrities, and showcased up and coming guest DJs. This show was started in my parents\' basement, mainly at the frustration of not finding on-air opportunities in radio, and to keep my skills sharp. In its\' peak, my show was syndicated on 10 internet stations and 4 FM stations, both domestically and internationally.I\'ve been running my own DJ business since and have DJed for various charitable organizations such as The Wounded Warrior Project, The American Bombshells and Boys Hope Girls Hope Schools. I also played myself as the DJ in the night club scene in the 2016 major motion picture,\'Tracers\', starring Twilight\'s, Taylor Lautner.Specialties: Management, Operations, Sales, Engineering, Production, Voice Over, Promotions, Marketing, Creative, Audio, Security
