Gonzales

Gonzales (also called Chilly Gonzales) can be an MC-meets-keyboarding-producer-meets-singer-extraordinaire. At a age group, Gonzales was presented towards the piano by his parents and overachieving sibling. Using the device as an avenue of self-expression, he quickly advanced in to the creation world. Through his Hollywood-based old sibling, Gonzales composed music for soundtracks under several aliases. Though delivered in Canada, the musician took up home in Europe, generally in Germany or France, soon after putting your signature on to Kitty-Yo. Known for his frequently comical concert events filled with MCing, Gonzales branched off into performing with Kitty-Yo labelmate Peaches in 2000 for the one “Red Natural leather.” His debut full-length, 2000’s Gonzales Uber Alles, was implemented later that season with the Entertainist. Touring and collaborating with Peaches brought both performers more renown, using the press nicknaming the duo the Bonnie and Clyde of Prankster Rap. Gonzales stepped back to the studio room and documented 2002’s Presidential Suite, but transferred from Berlin to Paris during 2003 and inaugurated a co-production romantic relationship with Renaud Letang (Manu Chao). He was also instrumental in the creation of Feist’s award-winning ALLOW IT Die, having toured with her and documented songs from an early on demonstration stage. Gonzales and Letang also documented with French pop royalty, including Jane Birkin (her 2004 duets record Rendez-Vous) and Charles Aznavour (periods ultimately canceled by Aznavour), aswell as Christophe Willem. When Gonzales came back to his very own profession in 2005, he released what was conveniently the most exclusive record of his profession, Single Piano, which discovered him executing 16 themes (for left-hand accompaniment and right-hand melody) and asserting the impact of French impressionists Erik Satie and Maurice Ravel. In 2008, he released an record on Mercury entitled Soft Power, an record of guaranteed piano-led pop that channeled the creation gloss of ’70s and ’80s pop/rock and roll. Two years afterwards, after piano fights with Andrew W.K. and a stint using the German rap group Puppetmastaz, and environment a Guinness globe record for the longest single piano performance ever sold (27 hours), he documented Ivory Tower, the soundtrack to a film he co-wrote with Cécollection Sciamma, aimed by Puppetmastaz’s Adam Traynor. The film included looks by Gonzales, Peaches, Feist, and Tiga (the second option of whom performed Gonzales’ sibling in the film). Gonzales in addition has popped through to many albums by Jamie Lidell. Another volume of single piano, appropriately entitled Single Piano II, adopted in 2012. Even more piano material found its way to 2014, by means of Re-Introduction Etudes, an album and publication of fundamental piano instruction created for beginner players who offered piano up and had been looking to go back to the device. In 2015, Gonzales released Chambers, an recording documented in tandem using the Kaiser Quartett that required the melodic constructions of modern pop and translated these to the design of chamber music.
