[@XCLent0]

Amp was the coolest, stylish, talented, innovative, funny and most chill dude I have ever met. So glad this performance was captured for all to remember Amp by. This stings. Rest in Peace.

RIP Amp Fiddler.... (December 18, 2023) The music world is in deep mourning today at the passing of Joseph “Amp” Fiddler, the Detroit-based singer, songwriter, keyboardist, and producer who was as beloved as he was talented. He was 65, and died after an extended illness. Fiddler first came to the attention of R&B fans when working with the vocal group Enchantment, but really came into his own as part of the late 80s and early 90s edition of Parliament-Funkadelic. Fiddler’s talent as a keyboardist and producer led to him becoming one of the most in-demand players for the emerging R&B and Neo Soul communities. Over a decade he worked with such luminaries as Prince, Maxwell, Was (Not Was), Jamiroquai and countless other acts. He also worked as an educator, training a generation of young artists in both Los Angeles (where he lived for a period) and then back in Detroit when he came home in the early 2000s. Most notable among them was J Dilla. In Detroit, Fiddler was seen as music royalty, and played a role in that city’s post-Motown re-emergence as a hotbed for new R&B music. And his albums, from 2004’s influential Waltz of a Ghetto Fly right through 2017’s Amp Dog Knights, were essential listening. It is difficult to grasp the magnitude of this loss of an artist so young and so universally loved. May Amp rest in peace. By Chris Rizik (Soul Tracks).

Amp Fiddler is the MUSICAL TRUTH! And that Bass player ...he's a pluckin' beast!

When an artist on your must watch live bucket list passes, it’s a grey day

[@bryancrenshaw3383]

@lovesolshine. I couldn't agree with you anymore. I caught on to Amp Fiddler late in his career. One of my musical regrets. May he rest in peace.

[@mr.t7388]

Detroit has some of the most seasoned artists that the world has to offer. I was first introduced to Amp by a song called (I Get Moody Sometimes ft. Moodymann) This man was a musical genius and it's heart wrecking to have found out about him so late. Thanks to Moody, I've discovered some of the best music that city has to offer. RIP AMP DOG! You are and will be truly missed, sending love from St. Louis, MO, may the FUNK never die!!!!

[@darrylperry706]

RIP Brotha Amp🙏🏾 Another great Dynamic Detroit musician!!

Detroit’s Love Supreme 💜 Amp Fiddler, Paul Randolph and all these amazing musicians have left us as heritage timeless music for the heart, mind and soul.

[@MilesAway31]

I read the other day that Amp Fiddler's net worth is only estimated at 1M dollars. This guy has so much talent compared to most mainstream artists today. Whenever I see a live performance he always looks like he's just jamming off the cuff. So glad that he's kept underground though but I do think he deserves more. Maybe the only people that know about him truly care about the music and that's more important than the riches.

[@Erendislevrai]

What's truly astonishing is that someone as Amp Fidler needed a fundraiser to cover his medical bills, whereas his would be net worth is 1M $... USA's healthcare system is really fucked up. RIP Amp

[@allanya74]

This is heartbreaking to find out. 💔💔💔🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@allanya74]

@@Erendislevrai I was shocked to find this out on IG right before he died.💔💔💔😭😭😭I wonder if he was able to pay for some of his medication but probably not because I heard that he deteriorated very quickly. ☹️💔

Amp is such a genius!!! Met him in France about 20yrs ago; and he still raises his game!

[@nikolazaimov87]

Came for Amp, stayed for the bassist :)

[@dariusvbryant.]

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tydavis3407]

I remember buying Waltz of the Ghetto Fly back in 2004 in Japan & instantly becoming a fan thank you Amp...

[@nubiamorenike5485]

Thanks for all your contributions Amp.

[@andrewgillis8572]

RIP this fine creator! What a loss. Blessing I can find: the bassist did Ampi proud, in life - Mr Randolph equals the best ever - Ferando Saunders was a bit like this - Alphonso Johnson - cat named Gordon Edwards was underrated - Willie Weeks obviously, anyway, so good it was hard to categorize - the headliner even w Glasper as backing could not have follow this set, surely, and no shame if so

[@dxxxt7]

rest in peace brother

[@norbertknape8681]

R.i.P. Amp!

[@BlackRootsAcademyOfSoul]

I see where Cory Henry got some inspiration from.... Right here 😎 Incredible Artiste Amp Fiddler, and the band! 🔥 Paul Randolph on Bass is KILLIN'! 🔥 Was a great experience meeting, chatting and also getting autographed CDs from Amp Fiddler. Our band even wrote and recorded a song in tribute to our experience at that Amp Fiddler concert 😎 Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿❤️

[@nebula0697]

That was the amp fiddler moment with the badass band, saw hm live in France back then. New Roller disco video is pretty fucking cool too. Also saw him DJ in Barcelona last year.
