Chilly Gonzales

Ever wonder what makes a Musical Genius tick? Or how “Super Producers” keep churning out hits? Well, Chilly Gonzales, with tongue (partly) in cheek has described himself as both of these terms. What Gonzo (to his friends) really is, is a true musical original. From his hit solo piano records, his sold-out concerts around the world, to his collaborations with Feist, Drake, Peaches, Jarvis Cocker and Daft Punk— Chilly Gonzales is a musical explorer, who defies categories, combines humour with serious artistic ideals and has developed a captivating musical language all his own. In this feature conversation, Gonzo lets (most of) his hair down and gives us an intimate look at his idiosyncratic, endlessly fascinating inner life. Warning: Some explicit content.
