A native New Yorker, Chubby started his career in the punk scene, performing at iconic venues like CBGB’s. While influenced by punk, the blues became his foundation, with artists like Howlin Wolf and Muddy Waters shaping his approach. Throughout his career, he’s built a global fanbase and remains a powerful, authentic presence in the music world.
