Among music legends, Nile Rodgers is truly exceptional. He amplifies his legacy as a multi-GRAMMY-winning composer, producer, arranger, guitarist by constantly traversing new musical terrain and successfully expanding the boundaries of popular music. As the co-founder of CHIC and the newly elected Chairman of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Rodgers pioneered a musical language that generated chart-topping pop hits like "Le Freak" (the biggest selling single in the history of Atlantic Records) and sparked the advent of hip hop with "Good Times". Nile Rodgers transcends all style of music across every generation with a body of work that's garnered him inductions into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (2017) and the Songwriters Hall of Fame (2016).

Most recently, he was appointed as the first ever Chief Creative Advisor for the legendary Abbey Road Studios (which has seen him work with the likes of Anderson .Paak, Jorja Smith, Bruno Mars, Maverick Sabre, Rudimental, Mura Masa, Emeli Sande and JP Cooper) to cap off a year that has included "festival best" performances at both Glastonbury and Coachella that resulted in the BBC nominating the band for the BBC Music Awards as "Best Live Performance of 2017" and the LA time stating "Nile Rodgers influence stretches all over Coachella, beaming the sound of a better future".

His work in the CHIC Organization and his productions for artists like David Bowie, Diana Ross and Madonna have sold over 500 million albums and 75 million singles worldwide while his innovative, trendsetting collaborations with Daft Punk, Avicii, Sigala, Disclosure and Sam Smith reflect the vanguard of contemporary music. Nile Rodgers & CHIC recently released their first new studio album, "It's About Time" in over 26 tears to critical acclaim and a Top 10 position in the UK album charts. Fueling four decades of pop anthems with more than 200 production credits to his name, the scope of Rodgers' peerless influence is undeniable.

The past few years have been very busy for Nile Rodgers. He joined the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2017, receiving the RHOF Award for Musical Excellence. And signaling a new era at London’s iconic Abbey Road Studios, Nile has been appointed to the specially created role of Chief Creative Advisor at the studios. For two years in a row, Nile has been a featured speaker at the prestigious South By Southwest conference. Nile was also inducted (along with Bernard Edwards) into the Songwriters Hall of Fame (2016) and was awarded the EBONY Icon Award at the EBONY Power 100 Event in Los Angeles. Back in New York, the French Embassy bestowed Nile with the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres medal. Additionally, Rodgers was elected to the NARAS Board of Governors and received the President's Merit Award during the Recording Academy's 8th Annual Grammy Week Celebration for the Producers & Engineers Wing of NARAS. Most recently BBC4 aired a three-part series on Nile Rodgers’ life entitled How To Make It In The Music Business.

A native New Yorker raised in the city's thriving bohemian subculture, Nile Rodgers established the CHIC Organization Ltd. after partnering with bassist Bernard Edwards in the Big Apple Band. Between 1977-1983, CHIC's blend of jazz, funk, and disco dominated the airwaves and has since influenced a range of hip hop and EDM acts, ultimately distinguishing CHIC as the "most sampled band in history" (The Guardian, 2011). Their streamlined yet sumptuous grooves powered Everybody Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah), I Want Your Love, Good Times and Le Freak — the biggest-selling single in Atlantic Records' history. Amassing a mountain of gold and platinum awards, Rodgers and Edwards revamped Sister Sledge with the chart-topping We Are Family (1979) album, which included Lost In Music, He's the Greatest Dancer and the Grammy-nominated title track. They wrote and produced the best-selling album of Diana Ross' career diana (1980), spawning hits like I'm Coming Out and the number one Upside Down.

Beyond the CHIC Organization, Rodgers has achieved commercial and critical triumphs for artists like David Bowie (Let's Dance), Duran Duran (The Reflex) and Madonna (Like A Virgin). He's remained on the cutting edge of pop music working with countless icons like Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, Steve Winwood, Grace Jones, Bryan Ferry, Peter Gabriel, and Eric Clapton. His boundless talents include scoring music for films like the blockbuster Coming to America (1988) and distributing soundtracks for popular AAA video games via his national distribution company and record label, Sumthing Distribution and Sumthing Else Music Works. He regularly gives keynote talks at events for noted media companies like Fremantle Media and conferences like Google Zeitgeist. Complementing his creative endeavors, Rodgers is Chairman and Founder of the We Are Family Foundation (WAFF), a non-profit organization he launched in 2002 that's dedicated to the vision of a global family by creating and supporting programs that promote cultural diversity while nurturing the vision, talents, and ideas of young people who are changing the world.

As a cultural icon and music innovator, Nile Rodgers transcends all styles of music across every generation, whether headlining Glastonbury 2017 or producing star-studded concerts for his own Freak Out Let’s Dance (FOLD) Festivals. After surviving an aggressive form of cancer, he published his critically acclaimed self-penned autobiography Le Freak: An Upside Down Story of Family, Disco and Destiny (2011) and was subsequently the subject of two documentaries, BBC Radio 4's Nile Rodgers: The Hitmaker (2013) and TV One's Unsung: Nile Rodgers & CHIC (2014). His collaboration with Daft Punk on Get Lucky and Random Access Memories (2013) earned three Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year and Album of the Year. "The full scope of Nile Rodgers' career is still hard to fathom, and it's not just ongoing, it's in overdrive," remarked Rolling Stone, who named Rodgers one of "the 50 Most Important People in EDM" (2014). Indeed, there's no shortage of superlatives or accolades to convey the impact Nile Rodgers has made in popular music. From Good Times to Get Lucky, Rodgers' unrivaled track record is a mere glimpse of what's yet to come.
