Besides being a virtuoso on the chromatic harmonica, Mathias Heise is a highly skilled composer. Back in 2012, he founded his fusion band Mathias Heise Quadrillion with equally talented peers: Mads Christiansen (guitar), David Vang (bass), Aksel Stadel Borum (drums) + Mathias himself on chromatic harmonica and keyboards. Following the success of their 2017 album 'Decadence' with Grammy winning George Duke producer Erik Zobler, the new album 'QUADRILLION' (June 3rd, 2022) showcases eight original Heise compositions which have been reworked and refined during a busy touring schedule on Denmark’s vibrant jazz scene. Quadrillion’s original blend of funk, rock and jazz is delivered with electrifying guitar solos, squelching synthesizers, and hard-hitting beats to create an immersive experience of grooves. A select few musicians with harmonica as their primary instrument hold a place in the jazz hall of fame, but at the age of only 20, Mathias Heise was crowned 2013 Chromatic Harmonica World Champion. In 2015, he was awarded ‘New Jazz Star of The Year’ in Denmark, and Quadrillion's debut album 'Sudden Ascent' was nominated for the Danish Music Awards in the category ‘Best New Jazz Act’. In 2016, Mathias received the Danish Crown Prince Couple’s 'Stardust Award' — an annual award that is given to honor and highlight young Danish talents. In 2017, he was awarded with the 'Ben Webster Prize', as the youngest ever.
