A founding member and keyboardist of acclaimed jazz group BADBADNOTGOOD, Tavares has gone from being an in-demand producer with some of the biggest names in music to a songwriter and artist in his own right, having touched corners of the globe and cemented two GRAMMY Awards and five nominations. Between collaborations with Kendrick Lamar, Ghostface Killah, MF DOOM, Tyler the Creator, Kali Uchis, Tavares has also played with Frank Ocean, soundtracked Virgil Alboh’s landmark S/S 2019 runway show for Louis Vuitton, and penned songs for Post Malone, Rosalia, Travis Scott, Kodak Black, Justin Beiber, Camilla Cabello, Jack Harlow amongst others.

Now with his upcoming album POPS out August 16, Matty relinquishes his lowkey and understated style for something larger than life, while maintaining a level of honesty and openness that has defined his past work to make for a dynamic release that constellates around music’s greatest subject - love.
