Wake Up Hollywood

LA Talk Radio

The hosts of Wake Up Hollywood Nikhil Korula and Eddie Pence have toured across the country, played to some of the biggest crowds around and know all the right questions to ask these new artists that they hand pick for each week’s show. The best part is none of this radio show is scripted and these guys know what it takes to succeed in the industry and have been good friends for years so you can count on leaving the show with a laugh, a good song or a conversation that will make you think.

    Matt Von Roderick

    MATT VON RODERICK Imagine a singular, one-of-a-kind trumpet virtuosity paired with a dreamy vocal crooning style, deep jazz roots and modern soundscapes, and you’re just beginning to conjure internationally acclaimed, award-winning Los Angeles-based jazz artist MATT VON RODERICK. Inhabiting a joyously uncategorizable and rarified air of adventurous, innovative instrumentalist and classic, heartfelt crooner, Matt has been hailed as “a post-millennial Chet Baker” by the New York Times, and has performed with some of the most respected names in music today, including Brad Mehldau, Mike Posner, Chris Potter, Nneena Freelon, Dionne Warwick, The SNL Band and Antonio Sanchez. As a soloist, Matt’s poignant sound heals, activates and inspires, and has been a featured at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and The Bonaroo Arts Festival, as well as events with best-selling author/spiritual activist Marianne Williamson. Matt has appeared on Saturday Night Live and The Ellen Show, and was named the 1st place winner of The Independent Music Awards Jazz Category as judged by progressive Rock icon Lou Reed. Matt was also a finalist in the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition and a recipient of the Vilar Global Fellowship in the Performing Arts, dubbed the "Rhodes Scholarship" of the performing arts by The New York Times. Matt often combines his atmospheric tone with a dash of loops, electronic textures and spoken word to create what the International Trumpet Guild calls “exquisite”. JazzTimes Magazine calls Matt "a top-drawer trumpeter who also sings like an angel obscured by a storm cloud", while Exclusive Magazine calls Matt’s sound "musical greatness" and Downbeat Magazine describes his musical approach as “Zen-like…” Matt genuinely loves his audiences -- it is his greatest joy to bring you joy.
