Chief released his acclaimed debut album "Collabo Collection" in 2009, which was very positively greeted by both medias and fans.
In 2011 he released the instrumental album "Drone Beats & Electric Waves, a collection of haunting and bewitching instrumentals crafted specifically for this project. The album showcases Chief's technical deftness while letting musicality take the front seat, and fills the gap between classic beatmaking and forward thinking production. Chief's production exhibits a rich pallet of moods and atmospheres.
In 2011 he produced the successful album "Crickets" with Canadian rapper Moka Only, praised by both medias and fans around the world.
2012 saw the release of Chief’s "Shadows Collision" project, a versatile album where Chief managed once again to blend hip-hop and electronic music into a twist of his very own. The project was supported by Chief’s new live set with beatmaker/dj Deheb which received excellent feedback for its singular and interactive approach to live beatmaking (live MPC, turntables, keyboards, live effects,…).
From hybrid electric beats to mesmerizing urban soundscapes, from cloudy ambiences to sophisticated soulful monsters, Chief's production showcases the moods and aptitudes of a forward-thinking producer capable of intelligently blending electronic influences together with hip-hop roots, to the best effect.
Chief is currently working on a new album with his live partner Deheb, and an album with US rapper John Robinson. Tours in South Africa, Japan and US are currently in the work. Chief is also the founder of Feelin' music.
