Biography

Chet Faker (born Nicholas James Murphy; 23 June 1988) is an electronica musician hailing from Melbourne, Australia. Nick Murphy settled on the stage name name Chet Faker as an homage to Chet Baker. Other influences he has cited include Bob Dylan, as well as his mother’s Motown albums and his father’s “chilled out Ibiza CDs”. He first rose to prominence after his cover of Blackstreet’s “No Diggity” went viral online, reaching #1 on the Hypemachine chart in May 2011. He released his first EP Thinking in Textures in 2012 to positive reviews, being described as “wonderfully loungey” and praised for its ability to “mix subtlety with impressive beauty”. The EP was also popular with fans, with single “I’m Into You” landing at number 24 on the 2012 Triple J Hottest 100 chart.
