Chet Faker is the on-again, off-again stage name of Australian electronica singer and musician, Nick Murphy. The stage name Chet Faker is an ode to Chet Baker, an American jazz musician.

Murphy garnered lots of popularity from his cover of the Blackstreet’s “No Diggity”, which reached number one on the Hypemachine chart in May 2011. He released his debut EP, titled Thinking In Textures, the next year, which received critical acclaim for its ability to “mix subtlety with impressive beauty”.

Murphy subsequently released his second single, “I’m Into You” which rose him further into prominence at number 24 on Triple J’s “Hottest 100 of 2012”.

He released the single “Melt” with Kilo Kish in 2013 and later that year collaborated with Flume to create his sophomore extended play “Lockjaw”.

Murphy’s first album was anticipated and was officially released entitled Built On Glass on 11 April 2014, its lead singer available for pre-order before the project was released as a whole.

The first album, you’re supposed to show all aspects of yourself. That is a big part of my life. So, I felt like if I didn’t put that in there now, people would be like, ‘What the f*ck?’ further down the line. I wanted it out nice and early.
