In Honor of Amp Fiddler
Our beloved “Amp” Fiddler, Detroit’s own world renowned ambassador of funk, soul, and electronic music, keyboardist, producer, Afro-futurist, and guiding force of light for so many, has transitioned at the age of 65. After an extensive and noble battle with cancer he now gracefully rests in peace and power.
It would be impossible to encapsulate the gravity of his energy, global impact & contributions.
His life’s work, legacy, & most importantly…his LOVE…will far exceed his earthly presence.
Born and raised in Detroit, soul/funk artist Amp Fiddler first studied music at Oakland and Wayne State Universities, and later with jazz great Harold McKinney. He was a musician, performing artist, producer, and sound designer. Fiddler had written and performed with artists such as Prince, George Clinton, Primal Scream, Moodymann, J Dilla, Maxwell, Basement Jaxx, The Brand New Heavies, The Enchantments, Seal, Sly and Robbie, Questlove, and Corinne Bailey Rae. He also designed sound libraries for both Native Instruments and Akai Professional and had released four solo albums.
