Chet Faker first broke through almost 15 years ago with the release of his debut EP, Thinking In Textures, which included his viral cover of Blackstreet’s ‘No Diggity’.

He followed that up two years later in 2014 with his debut album Built on Glass, which went straight to #1 on the ARIA Album Chart and collected five ARIA Awards, including Best Independent Release and Best Male Artist.

Faker has gone on to release four more albums, one under his alias Chet Faker, and three as Nick Murphy, with the most recent being 2021’s Take in the Roses.
