Biography

Chuck Inglish, born Evan Ingersoll, was raised in Mount Clemens, Michigan until he moved to Chicago, Illinois after turning 18. Ingersoll attended Notre Dame High School in Harper Woods, Michigan where he played football and basketball. He met Sir Michael Rocks in 2005 when Reed found a beat on MySpace that Ingersoll had produced. The two met to discuss terms of the beat's sale, and eventually ended up recording for two hours. They were inspired by golden age hip hop and artists like LL Cool J and Eric B. & Rakim. Ingersoll began promoting the new duo's material, and it was eventually booked by Josh Young of Flosstradamus for a DJ performance. They also received an offer from the DJ A-Trak to sign to his Fool's Gold Records label, During their time with Fool's Gold Records, the Cool Kids felt they weren't getting enough attention: “When your boss is on tour with Kanye West, it’s easy to have timelines missed,” said Chuck in an interview.

All of their material had been released solely on the group's MySpace page Eventually, The Cool Kids signed to Chocolate Industries, another independent label. Ingersoll has been the producer for tracks released thus far, but both work in rapping and production. The duo uses music software program Reason from Propellerhead Software to produce their music.
