Matt DeWitt has built his career by turning vision into action—founding companies, revitalizing struggling organizations, and empowering people to grow alongside the businesses they help shape. Launching his first company at just 21, he has since led large-scale transformations across industrial, energy, environmental, and private equity-backed enterprises, earning a reputation for urgency, resilience, and innovative thinking. Now, as CEO of StrataSound Advisory Group LLC, Matt continues to drive impact while boldly exploring a new frontier: AI-powered music creation.

 

Headquartered in Houston, StrataSound Advisory Group collaborates with private equity firms and privately held businesses to drive growth, simplify integrations, and elevate operational performance. Simultaneously, Matt is channeling his entrepreneurial spirit into StrataSound Music—an AI-powered app built to democratize music creation for everyone from TikTok creators and podcasters to small businesses seeking cost-effective, custom audio. With a summer launch on the horizon, the platform is already attracting significant interest from influencers and early adopters.

 

Building Businesses That Scale

Matt’s career was forged in the demanding environment of a family business, where he developed the work ethic and leadership values that define him today. He credits his father with instilling discipline early, often reminding him he had to “work twice as hard and get paid half as much” as everyone else. Those formative experiences sparked the entrepreneurial drive that propelled him to build and sell multiple companies before turning thirty.

Throughout his career, Matt has held pivotal leadership roles at major organizations such as Cameron and Clean Harbors, where he played a key role in driving remarkable growth. Under his management, one business scaled from $40 million to over $300 million in revenue, and its workforce grew from 200 to approximately 1,400 employees. Along the way, Matt became known for transforming operations, integrating acquisitions, and fostering workplace cultures that attracted and retained top talent.

 

Creating Music for Anything

 

While StrataSound Advisory Group draws on Matt’s deep business expertise, StrataSound Music highlights his creative drive and passion for technology. A lifelong musician—starting with violin in sixth grade and classical bass soon after—Matt dove into AI development while learning to DJ alongside his son’s own musical journey. This blend of artistry and innovation now fuels his latest venture.

Leveraging AI tools like ChatGPT, Codex, and Claude, Matt personally developed the StrataSound Music app from the ground up. The platform empowers users to generate original music for social media, podcasts, marketing, and personal projects, offering deep customization of vocals, genres, mood, instrumentation, and BPM. Users can even upload their own lyrics or vocals in multiple languages, making music creation highly accessible and flexible.

 

Built around the tagline “Create music for anything,” the app features a vibrant social layer where users can publish songs, compete on leaderboards, and discover emerging creators. With beta testing underway, Matt remains committed to making professional-grade music creation more affordable, collaborative, and accessible than ever before.
