Ghostking is Dead

Ghostking is Dead is the project of Cork-based producer, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Matt Corrigan. Writing about themes of personal struggle, grim surroundings and uncertain futures, Matt brings the listener on a journey of bright lights and fading memories, through textured soundscapes that draw equally from indie rock, R&B, soul, blues and hip-hop, led by a soaring lead vocal. Recounted streams of emotion, waves of sound and vibrant melody take the shape of emotional highs and lows, forming from crisp guitar lines, smooth hip-hop infused drums, keys and bass.

Ghostking is Dead has been producing all his own material since 2016, keeping the music true to his own vision, constantly experimenting and finding new room for invention in his sound. Ghostking is Dead works with visual artists both within and beyond the collective to conjure a unified aesthetic, an authentic picture of the musical and lyrical sentiments.

Supported live by a band of accomplished musicians, GKID can bring a room into his world, and has done so at venues all over Cork and in Dublin, including playing a slot at The Good Room’s ‘It Takes A Village 2018’.
