Mathias Lattin

7-11-2025

Mathias Lattin won the 2023 International Blues Challenge and Best Guitarist at the tender age of 20; conceivably making him the youngest to win both.

Some of you saw Mathias open for Eric Gales here at Bull Run last November. I had never heard of him and while sometimes you may not pay much attention to the opener, all eyes were on this guy for his 30 minutes on stage. We were all blown away by him. So if you didn't see that show and if you've never heard of him, trust me - this guy is the real deal.

�The grandson of NBA Hall of Famer, David “Big Daddy” Lattin, he displays his talent on the stage not the basketball court. He is a 2020 graduate of Houston’s acclaimed Kinder High School of Performing and Visual Arts.

He began his foray into the Houston Blues scene when he was 12 years old. Jonn Del Toro Richardson invited him to attend the weekly Blues jam he hosted at The Big Easy. He garnered national attention when he joined the Keeshea Pratt Band (IBC 2018) in 2020. After touring with the Keeshea Pratt Band and joining Brazilian Bluesman Cris Crochemore for the 2022 IBC, Mathias decided to take a shot at the IBC as front man.

�“UP NEXT” is the debut release of this emerging Texas musician. Mathias wrote and produced the project which displays some of his musical influences. The wealth and breadth of great music/musicians in the Houston music scene had a major impact on the 21-year-old Lattin. “UP NEXT” is proof that the music is alive and in capable hands.
