Dripping in old-school glamor, designer excess and mid-flight flirtations, 'SANTA MONICA' has surfaced from behind the velvet rope and insiders say it's nothing short of first class.
LISTEN TO 'SANTA MONICA' HERE
On the new single, CHISEKO says, "I heard the chords behind the song and they sounded super luxurious and classy. To me it sounded like a continuation of the world I was building in Senna. I had also been a fan of vrdnyn (who wrote the chords) after hearing the songs he had worked on with Australian artist honey so it made sense why I gravitated towards this sound. Brandon Jonak's production really brought the song together and getting to know him through the process was a blast.
I wanted to build a classy brand for my upcoming EP and when I heard this beat it really spoke to some of the ideas I had been working on in my head. Brandon really helped to build the world I had imagined and we had footage of people walking through beautiful cities playing as we wrote it. To help inspire the mood."
With the progressive sound of KAYTRANADA, infectious groove of Anderson Paak, and the ease and comfort of artists like Q-tip, Cordae and Mos Def, CHISEKO crafts a unique and additive sonic experience. Chiseko set the standards high with his debut single 'JUICE' sitting at 9M Spotify streams. CHISEKO has since supported FKJ, Winston Surfshirt, Yung Gravy and Boo Seeka as well as sleeping out two headline shows and performing six packed showcases across BIGSOUND 2023 and SXSW 2023/2024. In November, he debuted his headline tour with sold-out shows in Melbourne and Sydney, with his hometown performance at Si Paradiso in Perth selling out in under 48 hours.
Simultaneously playful and heartbreaking, CHISEKO's lyrics touch on all universal aspects of the human experience, making his discography feel like returning home. "I make music that exists somewhere in between a sunset drive with your hair bowling in the wind and a sweaty rave in an underground basement", said CHISEKO.
With more music to come in 2025, CHISEKO is set to garner a huge amount of attention over the coming months.
