He is able to play the piano, guitar, bass, drums & various brass instruments.
In the 1990s, he was the leader of the alternative rock band Son before embarking on his solo career. Early in his solo career, he toured with Peaches (Merrill Nisker) and the press nicknamed them the "Bonnie and Clyde of prankster rap." The duo moved from Berlin to Paris in 2003, eventually recording with French pop icons like Jane Birkin. He also has collaborated with Feist, Mocky, and Jamie Lidell.
In 2005, Gonzales stunned his audience by releasing one of his most memorable and distinctive albums to date: 'Solo Piano'. The 16 themes for left hand accompaniment and right hand melody are delicate and reminiscent of Erik Satie and Maurice Ravel's lilting tones and show influences of Canadian folk and American jazz.
He lived and worked in Paris for many years and collaborated with bands like TTC, Katerine, -M-, etc.. and released an album entitled 'Soft Power' on April 7th, 2008.
On May 18, 2009, at the Ciné 13 Théâtre, Paris, he broke a world record for the longest solo-artist performance, playing the piano with a total time of 27 hours, 3 minutes and 44 seconds, breaking a record originally set by Prasanna Gudi.
In 2012 Gonzales moved to Cologne, Germany.
Once working as a piano accompanist to silent films, Gonzales has come a long way from being a Berlin-based underground entertainer.

That beginning is so capturing, this and that tune at 2:13 are what gets me to return to this song so often.
Alexander DeSchutter
@TheoTries ii attempted this piece months ago. I am a proficient drummer but adopted piano much later. Anyway, most of this song was manageable but that part.. ii just couldnt work it out.. II bet ii could if ii went back, and ii think ii shall. However, playing it the way he does here is another story.

Today's my birthday, I was so worried that nothing would come of it, nothing would happen, and that everything would stay the same. No. This piece changed everything. I can't eloquently explain what happened to me at 2:15, but I know that is EXACTLY how some compositions are supposed to make you feel. And everything is okay. Chilly, you are a fucking genius and I hope you keep making music forever. Changed my life.

Prenez une once de surréalisme ou d'esprit Dada (prenez soin d'enlever toute trace de conformisme), 3 piments rouges, un verre d'Erik Satie, un zeste de casque de Daft Punk, une pincée de Dave Brubeck, une noix de Bach, une belle paire de chaussons confortable, quelques graines de Steve Reich ou de Philip Glass, une robe de chambre en soie, une lampée de Glenn Gould (avec ou sans chaise), un gros sac de poils foncés frais, un filet de sirop d'érable, du pop pas corn bien éclaté et éclatant, mixez le tout et verser dans un C. Bechstein (de préférence), faites jouer et vous obtiendrez un Chilly Gonzales prêt à savourer.
Cet homme est un condensé de tout ce que j'aime. Jazz, Baroque, Classique, Blues, Pop, électro, minimalisme ou savante musique ? Pourquoi choisir ? Hop, le tout ensemble !
