Matthew Whitaker
The New Jersey-hailing organ and piano prodigy Matthew Whitaker has been playing for the majority of his life, earning endorsements from Hammond and Yamaha as a teen before heading off to Julliard's Jazz Studies program, where he is currently in his third year. Now at just 22 years old, this guy has already released three full-length albums, two film scores, and has performed on world-renowned stages like at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Carnegie Hall, the Monterey Jazz Festival, and the Newport Jazz Festival.
