Matt Black is the latest singing-songwriting talent to come out of Sydney’s inner-west and if his debut single, ‘Riot’, is anything to go by, he’ll soon be counted among the vanguard of Australia’s neo-R&B sound with names like Chet Faker and Jarryd James.
Black is a recent signing to the Myriad Management stable, placing him on a roster that also includes superstar Canberra duo Peking Duk and Benson. At just 24 years old, Black’s songwriting is sophisticated and ready for the charts as well as the dance floor.
In addition to his work with Myriad, Black is racking up some considerable collaborator credits. ‘Riot’ was produced by Miracle and mixed by Andrei Eremin, who’s worked on some of the hottest releases to come out of Australia in recent memory.
