Matt Korsmo

Matt began directing, designing and building Web sites and multimedia applications in the mid-90s for top tier design/development firms in Minneapolis, working with a wide range of clients including household brand names, Fortune 500 companies and small dot com startups. It seemed natural to match his passion for guitars (particularly the Fender Telecaster) with his inclination for technology. He discovered JamPlay in 2007, first as a member, and now, a few years later he's a member of the team.

Jason Mounce

Showing inclination towards music at a young age, Jason would eventually begin producing music in 2001. Primarily producing electronic dance music, Jason has experimented with cross-genre bending and creative production technique. Sighting BT as a major influence, this course eventually led him to Berklee College of Music where he studied music production and technology. He joined the JamPlay team in 2008 as a content producer.
Editor & Producer Born 1982

Aaron Miller

Aaron has been playing guitar in bands and recording music for the last decade, honing his skills in audio production and overall technical knowledge. You will be hard pressed to catch Aaron without a Metallica or Megadeth .mp3 within arms reach. Now a proud father of two, Aaron works as an editor and producer in the Akron, OH branch of JamPlay, LLC.

She is very proud to be a part of something that helps bring the joy of music into people's lives all over the world. Jenessa happily manages customer support and produces video content.
Editor Born 1984

Tyler Rugh

"The More Drums he has in His Kit, The more job's he can handle." Ty was born and raised around a drum kit, and rhythm flows through his blood. He likes long walks on the beaches of any Latin/Caribbean destination, and dreams some day of playing on the stage of Red Rocks Amphitheater. For now, he will stick to editing/producing the ripe and rich content presented here on JamPlay.Com.
"El sol se levantará mañana y quién sabe lo que traerá la marea?"
Editor Born 1986

Matt Brown

While at Capital, he also studied jazz guitar and recording techniques in great detail. Now residing in Chicago, IL, Matt provides JamPlay with the knowledge needed to maintain our quality standards, as well as keeping our music notation as accurate as possible. Matt also has video lessons in Phase 2 and Phase 3.
