Matt Dusk
Polished, velvet-voiced swing and vocal jazz that channels the mid-century cool of the Rat Pack. Sophisticated arrangements for late-night cocktails and city lights.

Matt Dusk inhabits the space where the golden age of Vegas meets modern high-fidelity production. His music is a masterclass in the art of the croon, delivered with a baritone so smooth it feels like it has been aged in oak barrels. It is the sound of tailored suits, expensive gin, and the effortless confidence of a performer who knows exactly how to swing a melody without breaking a sweat.
What sets Dusk apart is his technical precision, a result of his classical training at St. Michael's Choir School and jazz studies under the likes of Oscar Peterson. Unlike many revivalists who lean into kitsch, Dusk treats the Great American Songbook with a reverent but fresh energy. His arrangements are lush and cinematic, often featuring full brass sections that provide a muscular backbone to his intimate vocal delivery.
Start with 'Back In Town' to experience his big-band prowess at its peak, or dive into 'Two Shots' for a more contemporary take on the genre. Whether he is interpreting Chet Baker or swinging through a holiday classic, he provides a consistent atmosphere of sophisticated, urban cool that works perfectly for any moment requiring a touch of class.
Matthew-Aaron Dusk (born November 19, 1978) is a Canadian jazz vocalist. He has four certified gold albums: Two Shots, Good News, Old School Yule! and JetSetJazz, and two certified platinum albums; My Funny Valentine: The Chet Baker Songbook and Just the Two of Us (with Margaret).
