Nile Rodgers & Chic

Back in 1972, Nile Rodgers, a guitarist, and his friend Bernard Edwards on bass formed a disco band called Chic in New York City. These guys wrote, produced, and performed their own records, and they made so many famous disco songs like "Le Freak" and "Good Times"!

​

Nile and his crew created a style that blended rock, funk, and disco—basically, they were the cool kids of the dance floor. They even got nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a bunch of times and ended up in the Dance Music Hall of Fame for sure!

​

Nile has worked with all kinds of stars, from Diana Ross and David Bowie to Madonna and Mick Jagger, and even helped Daft Punk win a Grammy! Together with Chic, they keep entertaining audiences worldwide—that's right, still performing today!

​

They also rocked a Tiny Desk Concert, showcasing their hits like "Le Freak" and "I'm Coming Out," along with some classic covers. Nile's guitar strumming and the band's funky beats are still kings of the dance floor, whether you're listening to an iconic album or one of their live shows.

​

So, that's Nile Rodgers & Chic in a nutshell: they're musical geniuses who made the disco scene sizzle and continue to bring the funk with a wave of legendary collaborations!
