Drawing inspiration from a range of influences, Surprise Chef seamlessly blends elements of 70s film scores, jazz with a funky edge, and the foundation of hip hop—the samples. This fusion of genres results in a sound that pushes the boundaries of traditional soul and funk, creating a distinctive sonic experience that sets them apart from their contemporaries.

One of Surprise Chef’s recent achievements is their latest EP, Friendship, which adds a modern classic to the ever-growing canon of instrumental music. The EP is a testament to the beauty of interpretation in this genre, allowing listeners to embark on a sonic journey of their own choosing. From the moment the record starts spinning, it becomes clear that Surprise Chef has created something truly special—a collection of songs that not only resonates with the listener but also invites them to explore the depths of their own emotions and experiences.
