Chet Faker

Chet Faker, the stage name of Australian singer and musician Nick Murphy, first commanded international attention with the sultry and soulful blend of electronica and R&B encapsulated in his 2012 cover of Blackstreet's classic "No Diggity". The track's viral success led to the release of his debut EP, "Thinking in Textures," in the same year and marked the beginning of his ascension in the indie music scene. Murphy's raw, emotive voice and knack for electronic production have defined his unique sound, which gained further acclaim with his 2014 full-length debut "Built on Glass." This album won five ARIA Awards and solidified his position as a significant figure in the alternative music world.

Murphy's artistic evolution saw him temporarily abandoning the Chet Faker name in 2016, choosing instead to release music under his real name. However, 2021 heralded the welcomed return of Chet Faker with "Hotel Surrender," an album that embraced the hypnotic and introspective vibes of his earlier moniker. This return was marked by a series of releases, including the contemplative and groove-driven single "Low," and remixes that engaged other artists like Boys Noize, A-Trak, and Soulwax, showcasing the enduring flexibility and appeal of his music. Murphy's ability to create atmospheres that blend the electronic with the soulful continues to resonate with audiences globally, and his tireless work ethic ensures his place as an influential and evolving artist within the contemporary music landscape.
