Gonzales

I am writing this with my left hand typing on my blackberry on a moving train. My right hand is signing cheques. As the great George W Bush said "the French don't have a word for entrepeneur."
FOLLOW THE MONEY!.......Money to PRODUCE a FILM, money to MAKE PEOPLE DANCE and then some more money to RELEASE an ALBUM.

An existentialist sports comedy about chess and success, directed by Adam Traynor and starring Chilly Gonzales, the amateur actor, brilliantly flanked by a charmingly villainous Tiga (as his brother), and the inimitable Peaches as their love interest.

Selected for competition at

"Uber Alles" Album:

In the year 2000 Chilly Gonzales presented his debut album Gonzales Uber Alles. A timeless instrumental album with occasional flashes of Gonzales' voice , alternately crooning (the UK-charting "Lets Groove again") and admonishing his underground audience, as when he says "try to write a f***king melody for once". This electronic, romantic album also features Sticky, a mysterious Canadian chanteuse who provides haunting vocals on three French chansonínspired tracks. This album is the "origin" of the supervillain that Gonzales was to become. The album opens and closes with solo electric piano pieces that foreshadow "solo piano" while "the worst MC" announces Chilly as a different kind of underground entertainer, someone who isn't afraid to let out both his vulnerability and surreal egoism: As a Jewish entertainer living in Berlin, Gonzales chose the German rhyming title as a tribute to his unlikely story as a Canadian in Europe....a statement of megalomania, that a German could never dare to make - but also an expression of futuristic self--invention.
