Chet Faker just wants to be honest.
Thoughtful, amiable, self-aware, the 25 year old Melbourne musician born Nick Murphy first came to public consciousness three years ago with a Hype Machine topping “No Diggity” cover. Since then he’s released his debut EP, put out a collaborative EP with Flume, toured the world, and now, released a debut album whose main theme he says is honesty.
His honesty extends to this interview where he discusses the benefits of keeping a diary (sample line: “I did a cover of “No Diggity”. My friends seem to like it.”), working with Flume (“That dude just churns tunes out,”) and a career outside of music (“I’m questioning whether I even want to keep doing this forever, to be honest.”)
Yep, there’s that word again.
Chet Faker’s debut album ‘Built On Glass’ is out now.
