Following support from the likes of Jamie Cullum (BBCR2), Jazz FM & more, Matt Wilde steps up with his debut vinyl release, having spent much of his early years laying the foundations of his musical development through workshops at Band on the Wall.
A truly feel-good slice of musical goodness centred around Matt’s lyrical, virtuosic and jazz-leaning keys, Every Story / Pivot delivers wondrous blends of hip-hop and jazz elements. Accompanying Matt’s piano and analogue synth work is Stan Scott on bass, Joe Luckin on drums and Aaron Wood on Flugelhorn.
Surrounded by MCs, rappers and musicians recording hip hop and grime from an early age, Matt has been enveloped by Manchester’s many cultures, feeding into the music he makes and that continues to inspire him.

Both Every Story and Pivot depict a reflection. As put by Matt, Everyone has their own story; they have something unique to share with the world which encapsulates the highs and lows of their individual lives, and that can resonate with other human beings. By taking the time to listen to every story from different perspectives, we can hear voices that are unheard and undervalued.
On Pivot, Matt says, Our lives pivot between different perspectives and moments that can change the direction we’re travelling in. Unexpected shifts of reality and emotion. Pivot depicts the contrast between moments of stillness and moments of energy
