Chet Faker is an Australian electronica musician.

He has played for a band called Sunday Kicks, and an electronic/dance duo "Knicks".
He has also played under the name of Atlas Murphy. Murphy decided he needed to play
under a stage name after people came to his shows thinking he was a different
and already established musician named Nick Murphy.

Also Known As: Atlas Murphy
Name Origin:
He chose his stage name as an homage to Chet Baker:
"I listened to a lot of jazz and I was a big fan of ... the way he sang, when he moved into mainstream singing. He had this really fragile vocal style—this really, broken, close-up and intimate style. The name is kind of just an ode to Chet Baker and the mood of music he used to play—something I would like to at least pay homage to in my own music."
