Nile Rodgers is an American record producer, guitarist, and composer. The cofounder of Chic, he has written, produced, and performed on records that have sold more than 500 million albums and 75 million singles worldwide.
He is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, and the recipient of six Grammy Awards, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement/Special Merit Award. Known for his chucking guitar style, in 2014 Rolling Stone wrote that "the full scope of Nile Rodgers' career is still hard to fathom".
Rodgers wrote and produced music for other artists, including the songs "He's the Greatest Dancer" and "We Are Family" for Sister Sledge and "I'm Coming Out" and "Upside Down" for Diana Ross. After Chic's breakup in 1983, Rodgers produced several major albums and singles for other artists, including David Bowie's Let's Dance, "Original Sin" by INXS, Duran Duran's "The Reflex" and "Notorious", and Madonna's "Like a Virgin". He later worked with artists including The B52s, Jeff Beck, Mick Jagger, Grace Jones, Bryan Ferry, Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga, and Daft Punk.
