About Me
Matt Wigler is a jazz pianist, organist, singer, and composer from Baltimore,
Maryland. Born in 1994, he began playing piano at age 5, and even then
revealed his talent for improvisation. At age 8, Matt met a musician at a camp

passion. This gifted, young artist has maturity, skill and versatility well
beyond his years.

played at festivals throughout the US and Canada, including the Monterey Bay

nominated in 2010 for best jazz group by the Washington DC Music
Association (WAMA).
Matt’s two CDs, Thirteen and Epiphony, have received outstanding reviews.
“Matt Wigler's music is far beyond his youthful years, very sophisticated, and
complex, yet extremely accessible. Look for a very bright future for Mr.
Wigler. (Bob Putignano, President, New York Jazz & Blues Society, WFDU
host). His recent CD Other Mammals features an organ trio with Matt on the
Hammond B3. Matt’s CDs are available at CD Baby and iTunes.
