About Nile Rodgers
Few musicians have shaped the sound of modern music like Nile Rodgers. As the mastermind behind Chic, he defined the late ‘70s disco era with deep-pocket grooves and sophisticated funk, turning “Le Freak” and “Good Times” into timeless anthems. But Rodgers didn’t stop at disco—his razor-sharp guitar work and production genius transformed albums for David Bowie (Let’s Dance), Madonna (Like a Virgin), and Duran Duran (Notorious), leaving his fingerprints all over pop, rock, and R&B. Even decades later, his golden touch endures, from Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories to collaborations with Beyoncé and Lady Gaga. Whether onstage or in the studio, Rodgers isn’t just playing music—he’s shaping the rhythm of generations.
