History

Nile Rodgers (born September 19, 1952, New York City) is an American guitarist, songwriter, and record producer best known as co-founder of Chic, formed with bassist Bernard Edwards in 1972 as the Big Apple Band. Chic's disco-funk sound, built on Rodgers' percussive "chucking" rhythm guitar, produced hits including "Dance, Dance, Dance," "Le Freak" (one of the best-selling singles ever), and "Good Times," among the most sampled songs in music history. With Edwards, he wrote and produced Sister Sledge's "We Are Family" and Diana Ross's "I'm Coming Out." After Chic disbanded in 1983, Rodgers became one of pop's defining producers, shaping David Bowie's "Let's Dance," Madonna's "Like a Virgin," and Duran Duran's "The Reflex." His later work with Daft Punk on "Get Lucky" and Random Access Memories won three Grammys in 2014; he won two more in 2023 for Beyoncé's Renaissance. Rolling Stone ranked him among the greatest guitarists of all time, and he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
