Biography

Chef'Special is an indie-pop band from Haarlem, Netherlands, known for weaving elements of ska, rap, and funk into a diverse, cheery sound. The group was formed in 2008 by vocalist Joshua Nolet, guitarist Guido Joseph, bass player Jan Derks, keyboard player Wouter Heeren, and drummer Wouter Jerry Prudon. Chef'Special's debut EP, Hungry, was released in late 2009. Two years later, the group became the house band for the Dutch television talkshow De Wereld Draait Door, an opportunity that coincided with the release of Chef'Special's first full-length record, One for the Mrs. 2014's Passing Through topped the Dutch Albums Chart and produced the popular single "In Your Arms," which peaked at Number 20. Another EP, Shot in the Dark, followed in 2015, and the band returned to the upper reaches of the Dutch charts with Amigo, which peaked at Number 2 in 2017. Chef'Special's fourth album, Unfold, was released three years later and charted at Number 1. The band continued releasing new material with 2021's "Afraid of the Dark," a radio hit that marked the group's sixth Top 40 single.
