TENNY TEN (a.k.a. 10 Shott)
There are few who possess the tenacity and talent of Chipmunk. Despite being just 18 years-old, the Tottenham teenager has already achieved more than most could dream of. A MOBO Award winner at 17, a chart star twice in the last four months, he’s had millions of hits on YouTube and MySpace, and is one of UK’s most exciting emerging acts.
With UK urban music achieving huge commercial success, the stage is set for the leader of the new school to step into the spotlight. Already a staple on MTV, Radio 1 and 1Xtra, Chipmunk has been championed in GQ magazine and The Guardian who called him “the wunderkid of urban music.”
Whether talking about the break-up of his parent’s marriage, the realities of life in inner-city London or his all-consuming love of music, his diverse and imaginative debut I Am... Chipmunk features collaborations with N-Dubz and production from renowned underground beatmakers Maniac and StarzBeatz. Oopsy Daisy is a brilliant upbeat ballad about a break-up, while the soaring synths of Lose My Life, co-starring Tulisa from N-Dubz, is a metaphor for Chipmunk’s approach to music-making. “The album is a representation of me and the first 18 years of my life. I hope that people will see that as well as being commercial, it is also deep and well thought out.”
