He is a pianist, a singer, a film composer, a rapper, and a producer – most of all, however, this man, who loves to perform comfortably in a bathrobe, is one thing above all: a brilliant entertainer. Whether performing a stage dive, taking a seat at the organ, or presenting surprise guests: any evening with Jason Beck, better known as Chilly Gonzales, is an unforgettable experience. Many will still remember his song “Never Stop,” used by Apple in its campaign for the first generation of iPads. “Knight Moves,” another of his songs, makes everyone want to get out of their seats and dance. A further catchy melody of his pen, quite different in style, is the signature tune for AnTasten, the Ruhr Piano Festival podcast. For his 6th appearance at the Ruhr Piano Festival, this all-round genius will once more undoubtedly send the audience into raptures, revealing new angles of his talent while serving a generous helping of humor and musical class.
