这位音乐人真名叫Eric Chapus (埃里克·恰普)，如今他的艺术和事业都已获得巨大成功，并且拥有了自己的唱片公司 Endorphins Music 。1984年，Eric Chapus(埃里克·恰普)离开祖国法兰西，旅居摩洛哥、印度和美国，最终在澳大利亚定居。1996年进入音乐圈以后，被国立青年广播公司发掘，1996年至2004年，Eric Chapus创作并发表了六套惊人的唱片集，获得了许多奖项，并且通过巡演在乐界名声大振。 　　Endorphin is the stage name of Eric Chapus (born ca. 1962, Saint-Tropez, France), an electronic act and music teacher. Since 1984 he has lived in Australia originally at Kuranda, where he started his musical career. He has released six studio albums, Embrace (1998), Skin (1999), AM:PM (2001), Seduction (2003), Shake It... (2004) and Soon After Silence (2007). At the ARIA Music Awards of 1998 Embrace was nominated for Best Dance Release. Skin reached No. 32 on the ARIA Albums Chart and at the related ARIA awards ceremony he was nominated for Best Male Artist. Endorphin teaches courses in Composition and Music Production at the Australian Institute of Music. 　　Though born in France, Endorphin (real name Eric Chapus) was very much an Aussie by the time he made it big as a performer. He was thrust into the spotlight during the late '90s as part of an effort to foster Australian talent by radio station Triple J. Playing cutting edge electro sounds, he was arguably one of down under's most unusual finds of that period. He was something of a nomad for much of his life, skipping between Europe, Africa, and Asia before finally settling in the hot and steamy Aussie state of Queensland. Here he dabbled in a variety of musical ventures throughout the 1980s and early '90s -- such as the industrial outfit Godzilla in the Mist, who enriched their sound with the noise of chainsaws and angle grinders. In 1996 he composed the song "Pacific" to voice his opposition to French nuclear tests on Mururoa. That track didn't make much of an impact on his career, but his next offering -- the hypnotic single "Relapse" -- did. It won him a place amongst Australia's top musicians in Triple J's famous Unearthed comp, a massive cult following, and a five-album deal with Sony. Thus, in 1998, came the chilled out Embraced, which not only grabbed plenty of critical praise but was also a commercial success in Australia. It featured the widely celebrated single "Satie" -- which was later used on the internationally popular Café Del Mar, Vol. 6 compilation. Not surprisingly, Endorphin quickly became one of the nation's most respected acts, regularly supporting such heavyweight visitors as Massive Attack, Moby, and Faithless. He then did his reputation as a musical pioneer no harm at all with the release of widely acclaimed trip-hop albums Skin (2000) and AM: PM (2001).
