By the age of 21 Chip E. was a world wide name. In 1987 he became the first (and still the only) Chicago artist to be in regular rotation on all 3 major Chicago radio stations (WBMX, WGCI, B96). Former B96 programming manager Joe Bohannon (Joe Bo) made the decision to add "If You Only Knew" to regular rotation and with that began the transition of the station from CHR (contemporary hit radio) to a Dance Music station.

Music
House Music (all LIFE long)
Because of difficulties getting out of a contract with D.J. International records, Chip decided that he would rather not record if he had to do it for D.J. International. His first release "Jack Trax" is one of the most coveted early House Music releases, fetching upwards of $1500.00 (USD) on eBay.

Movies
Chip E. has recently resurfaced as a film and DVD guru. Besides work with artists such as Michael McDonald, Fleetwood Mac, Prince, The Dead, and Black Eyed Peas, Chip has produced a feature length documentary on the subject of House Music. The documentary is titled "The UnUsual Suspects - Once Upon a Time in House Music".

Heroes
All those that came before me, and all those that help clear the path for the future.
But ESPECIALLY my wife for her patience, understanding, loyalty, and love.
Yes, my wife is my best friend, lover, companion, business partner, collaborator, inspiration, and one of my heroes.
Chip E. (Producer, Remixer, DJ, DVD Author, Filmmaker, Director, Editor, Artist) started spinning records in 1982, by 1984 he was producing records. In 1985 Street Mix magazine declared Chip E. as the "Godfather of House Music". In 1987 Chip E. took DJ/Remixer Frankie Knuckles under his wing when he co-produced Frankie’s first record "You Can’t Hide". To quote Sean Bidder’s book "House – The Rough Guide", Chip E. has moved into "the realms of mythology".
