About the Artist
Mike Chapman (born Michael Chapman, 15 April 1947, Nambour, Queensland, Australia) is an Australian born record producer and songwriter who was a major force in the British pop music industry in the early 1970s. He created a string of hit singles for artists including Sweet, Suzi Quatro, Smokie and Mud with co-writer and co-producer Nicky Chinn, creating a formularised sound that became identified with the "Chinnichap" brand. He later produced breakthrough albums for Blondie and The Knack. Chapman was born in Queensland, Australia, but moved to Britain where he became a member of the group Tangerine Peel, and in 1970 met Nicky Chinn while working as a waiter at a London hotel. The pair struck up a songwriting partnership, and were hired by high-profile producer Mickie Most as in-house writers and producers to work on his RAK Records label. RAK quickly became home to a roster of artists including Suzi Quatro, Smokie, Hot Chocolate and Mud. Chinn recalled: “ We decided to meet someone who was making hit records instead of going round to publishers’ offices and playing our songs to people who didn’t know what they were talking.
