Haz Mat is an ambassador of the Detroit vibe in all its diversity. With a musical knowledge going way beyond electronic music, the artist is blending different influences within his musical creativity to bring a new spirit in house music. His “electric improv” approach allows him to reinvent himself continuously and his live performances are garnering him critical acclaim from the Detroit and international techno communities.
Detroit based, pianist, producer and talkboxer, Walter “Haz Mat” Howard has been blending hypnotic beats and tantalizing sounds effortlessly for the past fifteen years. Inspired by his peers like Norm Talley, Haz Mat attributes much of his musical inspiration from working with artists such as Kenny Dixon, Amp Fiddler, Bass Culture and a good friend Delano Smith. As a result, Haz Mat personally builds his house music from scratch, from the bass part to the beats, to the melody. After growing up in a rich musical culture and spending his early years being self taught, Haz Mat was afforded the opportunity to further is musical education at the Detroit High School for the Fine and Performing Arts as an instrumental and vocal major and the Bethune-Cookman College Jazz studies program.
