bio
Manchester-born pianist, producer, and composer Matt Wilde discovered jazz through an unconventional journey. Starting out as a self-taught beatmaker, growing up Matt made tracks for friends in the grime scene before falling in love with jazz through the sample-heavy works of Madlib, J Dilla and Pete Rock. This led Matt to dig into improvisation and harmony, crafting a sound that bridges jazz, hip hop and electronic music, and sharing his process with wide audiences on social media and YouTube.
Guided by values of accessibility and creativity, Matt has become a key voice in the UK’s boundary-pushing jazz and beats scene, with his debut album ‘Hello World’, EPs, and singles being championed by BBC Radio 1, 2, 3, 6, Jazz FM, Worldwide FM and more.
In 2024, Matt performed at Brick Lane Jazz Festival and celebrated his debut album with headline shows at Band on the Wall in Manchester and The Lower Third in London. 2025 sees the release of his second album and collaborations with artists in the UK jazz scene.
A proud Mancunian with Polish roots, Matt’s values-driven approach reflects his passion for community and empowering others through the arts.
