Surprise Chef

From little things, instrumental juggernauts grow.

The members of Surprise Chef first gathered in 2017 with the modest aim of recording to tape a couple of spontaneous funk jams. As planned, those analogue sessions gave rise to a series of collectable 45’s but the unexpected gold they uncovered was a chemistry and camaraderie that has come to define the lives of the band-members ever since.

Three LP’s and countless international tours later, Surprise Chef is globally recognized and respected with their emotive brand of cinematic soul, a sound that has been informed equally by their isolation in Australia and their deep love for soul, funk and classic film-scores. Their first album, All News Is Good News, established the foundation for their distinctive sound, and each subsequent release has pushed their creative boundaries. Along the journey they’ve garnered praise from the likes of Questlove and Jurassic 5’s DJ Nu-Mark and were sampled for a collaboration between 88 Rising’s Rich Brian and Wu Tang’s legendary Ghostface Killah. They also provided the soundtrack to a Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime advertisement.
