Art:X Solutions Ltd is the management company for the international world music artist, vocal percussion educator, facilitator of vocal percussion workshops, Randolph Matthews.
As an artist he can be simply described as a mesmerizing and truly enchanting griot who fuses layers of live digital loops, pulsating percussive beats, haunting African melodies and delicate maliesque guitar rhythms with a subtle urban Caribbean twist. He has created a new genre of music which he appropriately calls 'Heart Songs and Future Folk'.
As an educator and facilitator of vocal percussion he brings colour and joy to the lives of participants world wide.
Art:X Solutions Ltd also facilitates a monthly world music event called World Music Collab -
A monthly series of radical world music collaborations featuring and presented by Randolph Matthews. Collab is not like any World Music Night. The focus is collaboration and stretching the boundaries of expression and disparate cultures.
Art:X Solutions Ltd also provides eclectic DJ Services providing the soundtrack tapestry for live music events and functions of all genres.
Art:X Solutions has alliances with pioneering and scene leading curators and facilitators of Afro-Urban Events in London, Afrogroov and Afrikokoa.
The primary intention at Womex is to meet great people, old and new friends, and initiate & build good relations.

On witnessing Randolph do his stuff live, the eminent Afro Scholar, Journalist & DJ Eric Soul was compelled to provide the following testimonial: "Randolph Matthews is a rare breed of artist. With warmth, charisma and soulful delivery, daringly he brings sounds, melody and instruments from disparate cultures and time into a single contemporary package and bring soul as we know it into World or vice versa... World as we know it into Soul".
