Matthew Joseph

The amazingly talented Matthew Joseph is the guest on the edition of the Chatterbox Redux Podcast.

Matthew is a wonderful young British talent who just released a new single entitled Psychic.

Psychic is not a charity record but Matthew is keen highlight the issues of early onset dementia. As a young artist who may carry the hereditary dementia gene himself, it is a cause that is very close to Andrew's heart The disease has already affected six members of his family, including his beloved mum Jill, who passed away in 2024. Matthew’s mum was his biggest supporter, attending every performance, and features in the fantastic video for the single. His story was featured on ITV Today back in February 2026

Matthew says - “What I’m facing now is something I think about every day. With over 6 members of my family having passed away and affected from early-onset dementia, including my mum, I’m now at a point where I have to decide whether to get tested for the hereditary gene myself. It’s a constant internal conflict — part of me wants to know, and part of me is terrified of what that answer might mean for my future.

Matthew Joseph is an independent pop artist from North Wales known for emotionally direct song-writing, strong visual identity, and high-energy live performance. Since first gaining attention in 2019 as a finalist in the Soundwaves Music Competition and runner-up in multiple open mic finals, he has built a growing independent career, accumulating over 300,000 streams across platforms for all his releases and music videos.

Live performance is central to Matthew’s artistry. He has performed internationally at major Pride festivals including Las Vegas Pride and Maspalomas Pride (2023/2025), one of Europe’s largest Pride events, playing to audiences of up to 20,000 people. He has also performed twice at London’s O2 and appeared and performed on Judge Romesh. In 2022, his single Waiting reached the Top 30 of the digital pop charts.

A career highlight came in 2022 when Matthew collaborated with Myah Marie — a songwriter known for work with Britney Spears and Selena Gomez — on his single Chance. His music explores relationships, identity and self-confidence, with a style influenced by major pop performers including Michael Jackson, Madonna, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears. During the 2020 lockdown, his track Fetish gained viral traction on TikTok in lockdown, expanding his audience internationally.

His previous single Playing On My Mind (37k+ streams) was his mother’s favourite song, and now serves as a tribute to her legacy after she raised over £220,000 helping local people who were ill, resulting in a trip to 1o Downing Street. Matthew has since raised over £2,000 for Alzheimer’s and dementia charities through early performances of Psychic and continues to donate a portion of his earnings to organisations including Alzheimer’s UK and LGBTQ+ charity Not A Phase. He is currently in discussions about becoming an official advocate and fundraiser for dementia charities.

With further international shows planned, Pride festival appearances booked, and a headline tour in development, Matthew is entering a focused new chapter. His long-term goals include releasing a debut album, headlining his own tour, and performing on global stages such as the BRIT Awards and MTV VMAs.

At the heart of everything Matthew does is a simple motivation: to fulfil the dream he shared with his mother and to make every opportunity count. If he carries the gene the other family members did, he wants to live his dreams and grab every opportunity.
