Fused with cosmic reflections and nature’s gaze, Chucky Trading Co’s music creates an intoxicating campfire vibe. Brilliant groove and rich soundscapes, his music is a sonic universe that you could fully immerse yourself into.

Chucky Trading Co started playing music in high school. Instantly, there was a connection between him and the stage. “My soul speaks in those performances with a voice I don’t have at any other time,” he commented. Through years of being on stage and performing with a band, a sound naturally evolved and was amplified under the spotlight.

His journey with music wasn’t all smooth. After the fall-out of his first “big” band, Chucky Trading Co took a creative break and came back a few years later. “I’ve grown up a little and now I make music for the music!” his words sounded clear even through the pages.

Q&A With Chucky Trading Co

Punk Head: I love the tenderness and campfire feel in "Tonight We Will Live Forever." What was the inspiration behind the song?

Chucking Trading Co: I love that description! It really does have a campfire feel. Well, when you have been with your partner for a long time, your love is deep and mature, but not as fresh as when you first met. I wanted to think back to that first night together! It was magical!

Punk Head: How did you get into music in the first place?

Chucky Trading Co: I started playing guitar in high school and soon joined a band. I am never so "in the moment" as when I am playing music, especially live performances. My soul speaks in those performances with a voice I don't have at any other time.

Punk Head: What would you say are the biggest influences in shaping your sound?

Chucky Trading Co: I grew up listening to the classic folk-rock sounds of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Paul Simon and Elliott Smith are my greatest songwriter influences.

Punk Head: Is there a specific feel or aesthetic that you'd like to achieve in your music?

Chucky Trading Co: I don't start out with a specific feel, but it emerges more organically. Somehow at the end of the album project, it all fit together in a cohesive whole. I guess my influences and love speak through me.

Punk Head: What is your journey as a musician like? What are some challenges you faced and how did you overcome them?

Chucky Trading Co: I stopped playing music for other people for quite a while when my first "big" band didn't make a big-time, lol. I've grown up a little and now I make music for the music!

Punk Head: Are you currently working on anything exciting?

Chucky Trading Co: I have written my second album and am busy recording! It's a slow process because my collaborators all live a long way away from me so we do our pieces separately and then come together for a week to put it all together and record some fresh tracks.
