As a musician and vocalist, calling Matt "Doctor" Fink's talents and interests eclectic would be an understatement.
The keyboardist got his start in music early by studying classical and jazz piano for 10 years as a child.
By the time he was 12, his first band, Odella, was playing Top 40 hits of the 60s and 70s in garages, church basements and school gymnasiums throughout Minneapolis.
At 16, Fink joined Spiff Cool and the Keeno Jets and toured the Upper Midwest playing 50s cover tunes at high school dances and nightclubs.
When he graduated from his Minneapolis high school, he played rock and pop with the band Zachariah and R&B,funk and disco with the B.T. Rockets.
In the fall of 1978, he joined Prince's band, which would later be named the Revolution and eventually the New Power Generation.
Fink toured the world with Prince, rubbing shoulders with members of the Rolling Stones, jamming with Eric Clapton, hanging out with Bruce Springsteen and Sting, and of course collaborating with Prince on albums including Dirty Mind, Controversy, Purple Rain, Around the World in a Day, Parade and Sign O' the Times.
Since leaving the band in December of 1991, The Doctor has been spending his time in his Minneapolis recording studio, StarVu, producing artists, writing video game music for Activision and soundtracks for radio and television.

Ultrasound comes back "Funky"
author: DJ Jedi
If you loved the Minneapolis Sound from the 80's and love really great keyboard work.. "Ultrasound" is for you. This album is loaded with great songs like the title track, "Almost Funky" and my favorite "Cyber Monkey". A great addition to your purple collection.

This CD is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and warm feelings to your heart. Dr. Fink is clearly missed in the world of Prince, but he's doing it now on his own. Absolutely recommended.
