Manchester pianist, composer, and producer Matt Wilde has released the official video for “Find a Way,” the title track from his new album Find a Way on Hello World Records.
Director James Killeen frames dancer Jamal Sterrett at Tatton Park, opening inside the site’s historic Orangery before moving through glass, foliage, and shifting light. The choreography mirrors the song’s focus on persistence and self-discovery. The film closes with Wilde at a Rhodes piano.
The track pairs an electronic-leaning loop with drum patterns that lock time for a duet between piano and elegant trumpet.
Find a Way was funded by Arts Council England and created with trumpeter and composer Aaron Wood at his rural DIY studio in Huddersfield. The sessions centered on improvisations for upright piano and trumpet over inventive programmed beats. Wilde notes that he replaced previously recorded live drums with parts he built himself in Ableton Live to match the sound he imagined.
Wilde traces his path to jazz through an early stint as a self-taught beat maker, making grime tracks for friends before discovering sample-driven work by Madlib, J Dilla, and Pete Rock. Those roots surface on “Windup,” which drives harder on bass and glitchy momentum, and on prior single “It’s Ok, Feel It,” whose pitched-up kicks and snares nod to UK dance culture and club nights at Manchester venues such as Sankeys.
The album reflects Wilde’s Polish heritage and his Manchester community ties. Beyond recording, he founded the UK’s first youth-led charity and serves as a trustee of Manchester music charity Brighter Sound. Wilde’s Hello World Records aims to support grassroots artists with a fairness-first approach while celebrating Manchester’s role in jazz, club culture, and world music.
