About

I’m Matthew Hood, a technology professional by day and a dedicated music creator by weekend. I work for Denver Public Schools in the Department of Technology Services as an IT Support Specialist, handling device management, desk-side support, and hardware/software troubleshooting. Outside of my day job, I’m the founder of High Zombie Music LLC, performing and producing as an artist with a focus on live work and collaboration across domestic and international projects.

I’ve earned certifications as an Ableton Live Instructor and as a TV/Film sound designer, composer, and post-production professional, along with accredited work as an Audio Engineer and Producer. My education spans from Dubspot and the Institute of Audio Research in New York to a Fairfield, CT high school diploma. I’m passionate about blending tech skills with creative production to deliver compelling audio and music experiences.
