Insymmetry Creations LLC's MATT KNOWLES aka 'Top Hat Matt' is at home when on the microphone. After fronting metal bands since he was a teen, he transitioned into doing soccer in-stadium P.A. announcing for the past 15 years (since 2009 - High School, Semi Pro, and Professional). He is currently the In-Stadium voice of the USL League Two club BRAVE SC (fka The Villages SC).
He's also becoming a go-to public personality for conventions, from full weekend emceeing / hosting to select panel moderating / appearing as a guest on panels or even hosting their cosplay contest! He's taken the stage with nearly 200 personalities across every genre you can think of: Screen actors, voice actors, musicians, artists, comic and prose writers, wrestlers, stunt men, comedians, and more!

* ATTENTION TO DETAIL: As soon as the schedule is released #TEAMINSYM (Matt Knowles and Steph Cannon) will do
extensive research to make sure they are up to speed on the panelists career. We also try and make sure to get some sort
of face time with every guest prior to the panel
​
* ENERGY: Matt always has FUN on the mic and makes sure that every panel or stage appearance is like a mini-event.
* PASSION: There is no panel any more or less important than another. Every guest / panelist is treated with RESPECT and we
want every attendee, whether 1 or 1000, to feel like they are an important part of the proceedings. If it's a COSTUME CONTEST,
we want every contestant to feel like they are appreciated, regardless of the development of their cosplay.
