Chet Faker

On May 23, 2026, Chet Faker takes over Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto. Behind the moniker is Melbourne singer, producer and songwriter Nick Murphy, known for a downtempo blend of electronic textures, understated soul and R&B shades. First noticed with his take on No Diggity, he shaped a singular sound with Thinking in Textures and Built on Glass: late-night tempos, warm synths and a slightly hushed voice that sits close to the mix. After a chapter under his own name, he revived Chet Faker with Hotel Surrender, keeping grooves lean and melodies upfront.

Live, he shifts between keys and electronics, stacking loops, basslines and crisp drum patterns around live vocals. The set flows from mellow ballads to head‑nod rhythms, letting tracks expand without losing the pulse. It’s a space where club production meets songwriter instincts, where grainy keys, tactile beats and intimate hooks carry the room. Whether you come for the early cuts or the newer material, the thread stays clear: a precise, warm sound that favors feel over fireworks, built for a room like Phoenix.
