Australian singer/songwriter
Nick Murphy is best known for crafting atmospheric electronic productions under his former stage name,
Chet Faker. Born in Melbourne in 1988,
Murphy grew up listening to his parents' record collection and was influenced early on by the chilled-out jazz of trumpeter/vocalist
Chet Baker. Looking to avoid confusion with another
Nick Murphy, he adopted the moniker
Chet Faker, debuting with a downtempo cover of
Blackstreet's "No Diggity" in 2011. The track went viral and helped launch
Murphy's career. Several well-received EPs followed, including 2012's Thinking Textures and 2013's Lockjaw with
Flume. In 2014 Downtown Records released his full-length album,
Built on Glass, which debuted at number one on the Australian ARIA Charts. Despite his success,
Murphy felt his sound was changing, and in 2016 he announced he was dropping the
Chet Faker name and moving forward as
Nick Murphy. That year he released the tracks "Fear Less" and "Stop Me (Stop You)." In 2017
Murphy delivered the
Missing Link EP, featuring the single "Your Time." ~ Matt Collar
