This week, I had a chat with Chilly Gonzales, the suave\\xa0 all round musical polymath.\\xa0

Where do you start with Chilly? From early rap-infused works where he declared himself the President of the Berlin Underground, to his sublime Solo Piano albums, via collaborating with Daft Punk, Feist and Jarvis Cocker. Then there's running his own music school (The Gonzervtory) to holding the Guinness world record for the longest ever solo performance and of course writing a book about Enya. We got into a flow that took in everything from the hidden genius in Iggy Azalea\\u2019s Fancy to the connection between chamber music and bedroom producers. A charming and erudite gent to spend an hour with!
