    Amp was the coolest, stylish, talented, innovative, funny and most chill dude I have ever met. So glad this performance was captured for all to remember Amp by. This stings. Rest in Peace.

    RIP Amp Fiddler.... (December 18, 2023) The music world is in deep mourning today at the passing of Joseph “Amp” Fiddler, the Detroit-based singer, songwriter, keyboardist, and producer who was as beloved as he was talented. He was 65, and died after an extended illness. Fiddler first came to the attention of R&B fans when working with the vocal group Enchantment, but really came into his own as part of the late 80s and early 90s edition of Parliament-Funkadelic. Fiddler’s talent as a keyboardist and producer led to him becoming one of the most in-demand players for the emerging R&B and Neo Soul communities. Over a decade he worked with such luminaries as Prince, Maxwell, Was (Not Was), Jamiroquai and countless other acts. He also worked as an educator, training a generation of young artists in both Los Angeles (where he lived for a period) and then back in Detroit when he came home in the early 2000s. Most notable among them was J Dilla. In Detroit, Fiddler was seen as music royalty, and played a role in that city’s post-Motown re-emergence as a hotbed for new R&B music. And his albums, from 2004’s influential Waltz of a Ghetto Fly right through 2017’s Amp Dog Knights, were essential listening. It is difficult to grasp the magnitude of this loss of an artist so young and so universally loved. May Amp rest in peace. By Chris Rizik (Soul Tracks).

    Detroit has some of the most seasoned artists that the world has to offer. I was first introduced to Amp by a song called (I Get Moody Sometimes ft. Moodymann) This man was a musical genius and it's heart wrecking to have found out about him so late. Thanks to Moody, I've discovered some of the best music that city has to offer. RIP AMP DOG! You are and will be truly missed, sending love from St. Louis, MO, may the FUNK never die!!!!
