Amp Fiddler’s memorial service is scheduled for February 3rd at Fellowship Chapel in Detroit, MI. The family hour is at 10 AM, and the memorial service is at 11 AM. Fiddler, who was a longtime fixture of Detroit and the world’s funk scene, died December 18th after succumbing to cancer. His resume included working with Parliament-Funkadelic, Prince, Maxwell, and much more. As a solo artist, he released seven albums independently that were respected for his original flavor and masterful craft. Fiddler’s legend is also tied to James “J.Dilla” Yancey, who was a neighborhood kid he mentored and eventually introduced to Q-Tip, which took Dilla’s career to the next level. A GoFundMe was created to pay for Fiddler’s homegoing service, and so far, it has raised $23,000 towards the $35,000 goal. Fiddler’s wife, Tombi Stewart, organized the fundraiser, which still accepts donations.
