Can I recover data from my SSD, hot tea spilled on it?

A cup of hot tea spilled all over my macbook's keyboard and I think some hot tea went into the vents and power.

I have very important information, files containing music for artists and whatsoever. I took it to a technician to check it out and he told me the SSD is dead.

Is there any way someone can recover the data that is in the SSD? Any way?

Willing to pay a lot. Thanks.

There are data recovery firms that Google can find for you which can recover almost anything, at a price. Find one or two in your region and enquire. However I suspect the IT technician might have been fobbing you off because it wasn't a job he fancied. It could well be that if you took the SSD out, cleaned up any contamination on the connector with isopropyl alcohol and plugged it into another Mac with a USB/SATA adapter you could just read off all your data.

Are you sure the SSD its self is not working? I suspect the issue is more a dead system than a bad SSD.

I would recommend getting this case: OWC Envoy Pro - Portable, Bus-Powered USB 3.0 Enclosure: For Apple Flash SSDs (June 2013-Current Mac Models). Follow this IFIXIT guide to get the SSD out of the system: MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Early 2015 SSD Replacement.

You'll need access to a second Mac to gain access to the files on the SSD. If you can all you'll need to do is get your system fixed or get a new one (new or used).
