Matthew Jamal is a New York–based performance artist and composer whose interdisciplinary practice merges sound, movement, and visual mediums. Fresh off a six-month world tour with Madonna as featured cellist and dancer, Jamal is completing his debut album. From the ages of 14-18, he was primarily a street performer improvising through use of live looping and double bass in Washington DC and New York. Now, his career includes collaborations with Benjamin Clementine, Obongjayar, J’Nai Bridges, Jason Moran, and Jacob Jonas The Company. As a composer and producer he's worked on albums by Annahstasia, Cleo Reed, and Cktrl. His work has been featured at major events such as the Newport Jazz Festival, Free Arts, the Gucci Film Festival and the San Francisco International Film Festival, and covered by the likes of Vogue Ukraine, Vanity Fair and Notion Magazine. Rejecting genre as a limiting label, Jamal describes his music as queer, fluid and non-conforming. He holds a BM in Classical and Jazz Double Bass Performance from the Manhattan School of Music.
