Detroit based musician Jospeh "Amp" Fiddler plays several instruments. He is probably best known for his voice and as keyboardist, but he also programms many of the drumtracks on his own albums as well.



Fiddler began his musical career with the band Enchantment.



Fiddler served a long apprenticeship, writing and recording with artists including Prince, Money Mark, Lucy Pearl, Was Not Was, Seal, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Moodyman, Carl Craig, the Brand New Heavies, and Primal Scream, as well as touring the world with the P-Funk All-Stars before realizing his potential as a solo artist.



Amp Fiddler built an underground following in Europe with debut EPs Bass Mentality (2002) and Love & War (2003).



Fiddler also appeared on the Detroit Experiment album, along with big jazz names such as Francisco Mora and Marcus Belgrave, with a cover of Stevie Wonder’s "Too High," and collaborated with Only Child on "Child Find A Way" and "U Bring Me Vibes." Waltz of a Ghetto Fly was released in January 2004 on Genuine Article.



Funny factoid: Fiddler's son is featured on his albums as a drummer as well.
