Getting to Know JMatt
Those that have seen his posts on social media consider JMatt a variety of things, everything from a food reviewer to a vlogger. If you asked JMatt about that, he’d say he’s an ‘accidental foodie’ that just wants to do his part in supporting his community.
Simply put, JMatt is a content creator in the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Going beyond that general overview, he founded our HashtagMKE community and has been hosting free events since January 2017. He is also a former on-air personality for 103.7 KISS-FM (which is where you may recognize his voice from).
His presence on TikTok has grown to an impressive 146,000 followers (gaining 125,000 of them during the pandemic), his focus is on showcasing the good that the city of Milwaukee has to offer. If you’d like to collaborate or be a sponsor on future TikToks, check out his media kit.
