Matthew Whitaker<p>Hey everyone! I'm Matthew Whitaker, an Emmy Nominated professional blind touring musician, producer, singer, songwriter, and accessibility advocate. My musical journey has led me to collaborate with legends like Stevie Wonder, Christian McBride, Dr. Lonnie Smith, and Kim Tibs. You might have seen my performances on shows like The Harry Connick Jr. Show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and Showtime at The Apollo.</p><p>I'm passionate about making technology accessible for blind users and love working with developers to achieve this. A Juilliard graduate, I currently serve as the Minister of Music at New Hope Baptist Church in Hackensack, New Jersey, where I was born and raised.</p><p>Beyond music, I enjoy video and audio games, skiing, indoor rock climbing, and bowling.
