Meet Matt Johnson, Jamiroquai's keyboard wizard and the groove maestro behind their infectious beats since 2002. He's the genius co-producer of "Automaton," spinning a tapestry of jazz-funk, acid jazz, and electro that gets the world dancing. Matt Johnson's 2020 album 'With the Music' is a fusion of 70s soul and contemporary retro-funk, inspired by Ramsey Lewis' "Sun Goddess." It highlights his Rhodes piano skills, includes vocals by his wife Roki, and features Jamiroquai's Derrick McKenzie on drums, with the bass stylings of MonoNeon and other stellar musical virtuosos. Matt's YouTube channel is a masterclass in keyboard inspiration, guiding viewers through the art of playing keyboards, crafting unique synth patches, and unlocking the secrets of a great groove. Partnered with Vintage Vibe Electric Piano Company alongside the legendary Greg Phillinganes, he's a mentor, a guide, and a funk-fueled force in the music world.
