Matt B scored his first GRAMMY nomination for Best Global Music Performance with his song "Gimme Love."
Featuring Ugandan superstar Eddy Kenzo, the fan favorite Afro-pop track debuted in the Top 50 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs Charts, garnered over 5 million streams across platforms, and has taken home top prizes at the MUSE Creative Awards, Global Music Awards, LIT Talent Awards, and New York International Film Awards. Just a few weeks ago, Matt and Eddy also performed “Gimme Love” for the first time in Uganda at the Eddy Kenzo Festival to a crowd of over 100,000 people.
Throughout his career, the Chicago native and LA-based songsmith has built a worldwide fanbase with his chart-topping singles and albums. First releasing music in Japan in 2014, Matt B’s international debut and sophomore albums (Love & War, DIVE) both went to #1 on the iTunes R&B Charts and and were later followed by his 2018 EP, RISE, produced by GRAMMY-Award Winning Producer Bryan-Michael Cox (Mariah Carey, Usher, Mary J. Blige). In 2021, he released his debut US album, EDEN, which featured production from Cox as well as Tricky Stewart (Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Rihanna) and landed in the Top 40 on Billboard’s R&B Albums, Digital Albums, Heatseekers, and R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart. Since then, Matt B has continued to find inspiration from the people and cultures surrounding him with the release of “Gimme Love” and a string of recent singles including latest release “Get Down Mami” which instantly immerses listeners into his world of Afrobeats. The track is off his yet-to-be announced EP, expected early 2023.
