Mathieu Fiset

Mathieu Fiset is a Canadian jazz fusion keyboardist, composer, and producer known for his high-energy performances and virtuosic approach to the instrument. Originally from Quebec City and now based in Toronto, he blends jazz, progressive rock, funk, and electronic elements into a distinctive and dynamic sound.

With 120,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, Mathieu has built a dedicated audience worldwide. His music gained international recognition when Snarky Puppy drummer Larnell Lewis performed his composition “Chick’s Pain” in a viral Drumeo video, amassing millions of views. The success of that video helped Chick’s Pain accumulate over 12 million streams across all platforms, making it one of the most streamed independent jazz fusion tracks in recent years.

The track has also taken on a life of its own, being covered by young music students around the world and performed live by various artists at international events and festivals—including a brass band in Norway and renowned harpist Salvador Peña Herrera at Mexico’s Arpafest. Since relocating to Toronto, Mathieu has quickly made an impact, selling out two headlining shows and assembling an all-star live band featuring some of the city’s finest jazz musicians.
