Matrix Media Sound

After many years as fans of reggae music, Johnnie Walker & Father Blake of the Original Matrix Movement have set out to make their impression on the reggae audience. From roots and culture, lover’s rock to dancehall (we nice with the hip hop and r&b too) this MC/Selector team can draw for the tunes to win over any audience.Johnnie Walker's family originated in a part of Kington, Jamaica known as Maul Road and they moved him to New York at a very young age. Blake the young sensation is 18 years old and has been playing music since 6 years old. He grew up in Washington D.C. All the members of Matrix developed a strong interest for reggae music in their late teens. Johnnie Walker began as a DJ while in college and eventually ventured in nightclub promotions as well. After becoming of member of previous Soundsystems such as Golden Touch Int’l and Love Sound, he developed his talent as a MC. Eventually he was dubbed “The Talker”. I enjoy introducing the tunes to the audience by incorporating humor and finding ways to relate the music to current events and Caribbean culture” says Johnnie. Father Blake began his career as playing with some of the local veteran sounds ant various basement and nightclub functions before he met Johnnie Walker. Being introduced to dancehall by his mother and his uncle who selected for the legendary Safari Sound (DC). Blake has quickly mastered the art of selecting and mixing tunes for audiences. He continues to impress elder crowds with his knowledge of vintage era reggae. We expect Blake to grow into a style that will capture audiences around the world. “I love reggae music and therefore I love being a DJ. I think my love for the music is extended to our audiences when we play”The combination of our 7 years in the business proves to be a major strength. “ We are all at a point where we decided we were no longer going to do this music thing unless we can make what we love work for us instead of the opposite”. Matrix has been playing the area nightclubs in Washington D.C. and abroad and refining their skills over the past years. They decided in 2003 to begin building their dub boxes and positioning themselves to entered their first clash/juggling competition in late 2006(Presidents Cup, Washington D.C.). In late 2005 they formed Matrix Media 1 a multimedia and recording studio. Matrix is currently looking forward to taking more dates this year. Over next several years Matrix Movement promises to be a force to be reckoned with!!
