Dr. Fink
Matt Fink, stage name Doctor Fink, helped define the history of popular music by playing keyboards in Prince’s legendary band The Revolution. Appearing on stage dressed in surgical scrubs and mask, he can be considered one of the most iconic keyboard players ever, having worked on and toured the albums Prince, Dirty Mind, Controversy, 1999, Purple Rain, Around the World in a Day, Parade, Sign O’ The Times, Lovesexy, Batman, and Graffiti Bridge. Songs he cowrote with Prince include “Dirty Mind”, “Computer Blue”, “17 Days”, “America”, and “It’s Gonna Be A Beautiful Night”. Doctor Fink further helped solidify the Minneapolis Sound by appearing on releases for Lipps Inc, The Time, Vanity 6, The Jets, and Madhouse. After working with Prince, Doctor Fink worked at Dominion Entertainment, a subsidiary of K-Tel Records, and produced musical content for video game, documentary film, and streaming services.
