Chopstix

Archive note

Our collaboration with Grammy-winning producer Chopstix spans music, creative direction, and long-term world-building. Led by IRIE founder Aday, the partnership began with BORDERS, where Chopstix served as Executive Producer alongside Aday, helping shape the project's cross-cultural sonic identity and laying the foundation for IRIE's multidisciplinary approach to storytelling. The collaboration continued with LUST On The Coast, expanding beyond record-making into a broader creative partnership that connects music with visual direction, live experiences, and artist development. Working closely with Chopstix as Creative Director and A&R, Aday has contributed across creative strategy, project development, and release execution. Beyond IRIE releases, the partnership has extended into Chopstix's wider career, including creative involvement during the development of his collaboration with Chris Brown and Byron Messia. Their continued work together was further recognized with a Grammy certification, reflecting a relationship built on sustained creative collaboration rather than individual projects.
