Gonzales (real name Jason Beck), also known as “Chilly Gonzales” is a Canadian multi-talented musician. He is known for his MC and electro albums (i.e. “The Entertainist” and “Presidential Suite.”) and his comical live shows. He is able to play the piano, guitar, bass, drums and various brass instruments.
In the 1990s, he was the leader of the alternative rock band Son before embarking on his solo career. Early in his solo career, he toured with Peaches (Merill Nisker) and the press nicknamed them the “Bonnie and Clyde of prankster rap.” The duo moved from Berlin to Paris in 2003, eventually recording with French pop icons like Jane Birkin. He also has collaborated with Feist, Mocky, and Jamie Lidell.
In 2005, Gonzales stunned his audience by releasing one of his most memorable and distinctive albums to date: Solo Piano. The 16 themes for left hand accompaniment and right hand melody are delicate and reminiscent of Erik Satie and Maurice Ravel’s lilting tones and show influences of Canadian folk and American jazz.
Once working as a piano accompanist to silent films, Gonzales has come a long way from being a Berlin-based underground entertainer.
He now lives and works in Paris with bands like TTC, Katerine, -M-, etc…
His new album entitled ‘Soft Power’, was released on april 7th, 2008.
