Raised in Selma, AL, Matt Mcilwain has only been in Nashville for less than 2 years but has quickly become a known personality in town, most notably as the drummer for American country music singer Trey Lewis. Matt's skillsets extend far beyond his talents as a touring drummer. Utilizing his skills in media and production, Matt has become an invaluable asset for multiple Nashville-based podcasts, including the DM Monday Podcast (Trey Lewis) and In The Round Podcast (Matt Burrill), among others. We had fun chatting with Matt about stories from the road and the importance of brand and personality in our social media-driven world. We hope you enjoy!
