MaJiKer, alias Matthew Ker, is a British music producer and musician. He resides in Paris, France but works internationally. He has recorded two of his own albums, and also has had success producing and performing with other artists, including French singer Camille on her platinum-selling album Le Fil (2005) and its follow-up Music Hole (2008) . During 2005-2008, he also performed and worked on the arrangements for Camille's world tours, playing piano, accordion, body percussion and beatbox. In 2011 he once again toured internationally, this time performing with Italian singer-songwriter Erica Mou whose debut album he arranged and produced with Valgeir Sigurdsson.

In 2005, MaJiKer produced the platinum-selling album Le Fil with French singer/songwriter Camille. He also performed on stage with Camille on her international tour during 2005–2006, and produced with her once more, on her 3rd album Music Hole. The two musicians met while studying in the U.K. and bonded over their shared love of music. Their musical partnership developed into "a distinctive style that is best described as a collage of body percussion and minimal vocal textures wrapped in a beautiful melody". His collaborations with Camille won prestigious awards including Prix Constantin in 2005, Victoires de la Musique in 2006 & 2009 and BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music in 2007.

MaJiKer's solo debut album called Body-Piano-Machine was released in April 2009 on Gaymonkey Records. All the sounds on the record came from the body (body percussion, human beatbox and singing voice), an acoustic piano, and a specific machine - a Yamaha keyboard PSS 270 which was the keyboard from his childhood.
