Jackson Mathod

I'm Jackson Mathod, a multi-instrumentalist singer songwriter based in the south of London. My influences range from the likes of Fat Freddie’s drop, Submotion Orchestra, and Christian Scott to name a few. I studied Jazz at Guildhall School of Music and Drama back in 2009. However, never feeling fully embedded in the Jazz world, I quickly went onto the session musician circuit, playing for high profile artists such as Stormzy and Jordan Rakei. Fast forward to 2019, where I was asked to be a featured artist on 'Make you Feel' by South London Duo Fika, laying my vibrant trumpet sound on the alt-soul hit. This is a thing I really enjoy in music- Improvising in different styles. Embracing the diversity of my instrument. “Jackson Mathod plays with a genuine love for Jazz music. His ability to convey truth in his solos is a tonic and his potential as an artist excites me. Jackson’s playing adheres to the values of blues, swing and community, he represents himself with honesty and dignity and reflects with abundance the characteristics that this music’s future will thrive on.” – Julian Joseph Jackson’s music has been featured on Spotify Editorial playlists such as ‘State of Jazz’ and ‘Jazz UK’ He has also received radio play from BBC 6music, Jazz fm, WWFM to name but a few
