Matt Walters AKA Reductio

Once the preserve of religious music in cathedrals and churches, the organ has a traditional and classical heritage. However, Homerton alumni Matt Walters is keen to bring organ music to a new young audience. He recently performed a concert of organ music at Wells Cathedral in aid of the restoration of the organ. However, all is not quite as it seems as Matt, Aka Reductio, has been shaking up the world of classical organ music with his classical-dance music re-mixes and has become a bit of Tik-Tok sensation.

Matt learnt to play the organ whilst at Downside Abbey School, where he still plays as his family live locally. He started learning the piano whilst at school, but in Year 9 his music teacher joked that his ability at playing football might mean he would have the necessary co-ordination to be talented at playing the organ, a prediction which turned out to be correct.

Reductio has rapidly emerged as a dynamic presence in the music scene over the past year, amassing over 100,000 followers across various platforms. His recent appointment as an ‘Associate Musician’ at Dulwich Prep & Senior highlights his growing influence. In 2024, Reductio embarked on an extensive tour across England, performing at numerous venues and cathedrals, and he’s set to expand his reach internationally in 2025. His live shows promise a captivating blend of classical and contemporary music, featuring works by Bach, Widor, ABBA, and Coldplay, alongside original compositions and spontaneous improvisations inspired by audience input. Reductio’s musical journey began at Downside School, and he later earned an organ scholarship at Homerton College, Cambridge, while studying classics. Before fully committing to his music career, he worked at an estate agency in Bristol. Outside of music, Reductio, known as Matt, is passionate about fitness and enjoys boxing with his brother.
