Matthew Fink Explained

Matthew Fink is a South-African record producer, sound engineer, and musician. Throughout his career, he has produced for the more commercial, typically Afrikaans rock, pop and country musicians, Steve Hofmeyr being a notable client; but in the early 2000's he broke through as a sought-after indie-producer, especially after producing Jim Neversink's eponymous debut album in 2005.[1]

Many of the albums he has produced have received critical acclaim, with one journalist pronouncing him "the best rock producer in the country." In 2014, Fink was nominated twice for a South African Music Award award in the category Best Engineer of the Year; the two albums in question were: The Home We Built by Matthew Mole and Goodbye Wild Child by Shadowclub.

As a musician

Fink masters several instruments – keyboard, synthesizer, organ, accordion and guitar. He has been a member of Jim Neversink and The Black Hotels; he has performed live with both outfits and appears on their recordings.[2] [3]
