About
True tri-athletes as musicians, DJ's, and producers, Hey Champ have continuously flexed their musical muscle to become one of the mightiest acts in recent years.With their "Winner's Circle" mix series, Hey Champ highlight their remixes in the context of the freshest synth-pop, funk, disco, and house, while their debut LP, "Star," illustrates their musicianship and songwriting prowess.
Hey Champ's roots can be traced outside of Chicago in nearby Rockford, where band members Saam Hagshenas (Vocals, Guitar) and Jonathan Marks (Vocals & Drums) discovered their love of music at a young age. After Saam's graduation from law school, Jon's fellow Princeton chum Pete Dougherty (Synths) moved to Chicago, cementing the lineup of the group. The band incorporates influences from disco, house and indie rock, while combining the raw energy of Cheap Trick and the synth-heavy productions of Giorgio Moroder and Trevor Horn.
Discovered by Lupe Fiasco in late 2008, the band began touring non-stop with performances that included Lollapalooza, a stint across Brazil, and nationwide tours with The Sounds and Lupe himself.
The band kicked off 2011 by jumping into the studio with MPG Breakthrough Producer of The Year 2011, Eliot James (Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party, Two Door Cinema Club).The resulting EP, "Anything At All," is now available wherever the finest of MP3's are sold.
