Chipmunk - tickets BRISTOL

Chipmunk has already achieved so much for a guy who has just finished school. In 2008 he received a MOBO for Best Newcomer, and won Best Hip-Hop Act at the 2009 MOBOs, overcoming US megastars such as Jay-Z, Kanye West and Eminem. He has also received an Urban Music Award for Best Newcomer, and a nomination for Best Rapper at the American BET Awards, not to mention having racked up millions of plays across his MySpace and YouTube channels - and all before he'd even finished school. He's not new to the scene...at the age of 15 Chip started producing and self-releasing mixtapes, buying CDs in bulk and selling them to his mates at school. For his final mixtape, League Of My Own, he came together with Alwayz Recordings, together they then went on to release the much talked about single Chip Diddy Chip, reaching number 21 in the UK charts.

Since Chipmunk’s mixtapes, he has been on the steep rise to success - with hits such as Oopsy Daisy, Diamond Rings and his latest hit Until You Were Gone. As Chipmunk says “There’s a lyric on my album that goes, ‘I won’t stop until I’m under/ Signing a deal never took away my hunger’,” points out Chipmunk. “I want this and I’m not going to stop until I get it. Signing to a major label isn’t going to slow me down; I’m going harder now. The work I’ve put in and 2007 and 2008, I will quadruple in 2009 and 2010.” With a top 5 album, and four new tracks on his latest Platinum Edition release, Chipmunk is embarking on a massive 13 date Shine Shine Tour in June. This boy is moving up fast – can you keep up with the pace?
