Today on the show I speak with keyboardist/producer/songwriter - Matthew Robert Fink - aka 'Dr Fink.
Dr Fink is a Minnesota based musician who rose to a 'Purple Rain' of fame as a member of Prince's band 'The Revolution.
He is a three time Grammy Award Winner, three time American Music Award winner and has received numerous RIAA awards for his work as a musician. In addition to his involvement with 'The Revolution', Dr Fink also worked with other 'Prince' projects including - The Time, Vanity 6 and Jill Jones. He has also worked on music for/with The Rembrandts, Steve Nathan and Lipps Inc.
Now days Dr Fink works mostly as a producer and songwriter, as well as an advisor for K-Tel Records, but can still be seen performing when 'The Revolution' do reunion shows or as part of ST Paul and The Funk All Stars band (another project made up predominantly of Prince alumni).
During our conversation, Dr Fink and I talk about his initial Prince audition, Purple Rain, AI, music careers as a whole, touring and even his son I.Am.Max.

Kingdom of Fraud
It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
