Matthew’s No Nonsense Talent
Seventeen-year-old Matthew Whitaker is an amazing pianist who began playing when he was only three years old. Matthew was born blind but despite his visual impairment, he has become one of the best piano players in the world. He was endorsed by Hammond at nine years old, becoming the youngest to ever be endorsed in the company’s history. At 15, he was named a Yamaha Artist, again the youngest person to be named such. He has won numerous awards, played on world-renowned stages, shared the stage with legendary musicians, and appeared on multiple TV shows including Ellen. Currently, Matthew is studying classical piano and drums at The Filomen M. D’Agostino Greenberg Music School of the Lighthouse Guild in NYC and attends the Manhattan School of Music’s Precollege Jazz Program.
