Chunky

MANCHESTER, UK


Illusive Mancunian MC whose playful approach means following text scavenger hunts to find discover new music


Chunky is a multidisciplinary artist from Manchester, UK via Zimbabwe. His catalogue of work spans over a decade with deep musical roots that start in the genesis of Grime in the north and expand into London's bass music hubs. A mainstay at both Rinse FM and Swamp 81 with starring roles within Riot Jazz and Manchester’s MC super-collective LEVELZ. 

His interest in art and creation includes acting, modelling and creative direction with collaborations with 20 Stories High, SPORTSBANGER and Benji Reid. His honest music and art sits below the surface yet vibrates with enough force to shake the ground above.

“I was introduced to Chunky by Tunde Adekoya and Big People Music. His rebellious and punk approach is all about freedom and expression. He has a true underground philosophy and audiences and fans have to work to discover his new music, with innovative ideas like scavenger hunts, private listening parties and T-shirt campaigns”
