A Finnish duo that started with rap before finding chart success with dance-pop singles.
For a quick sense of their sound, listen to 'Disco Fever' and 'Jos mä oon oikee.' They show the shift from rap beginnings to polished pop.
Cheek matters because they captured a specific moment in Finnish pop when hip-hop was giving way to dancefloor hooks. Their 2009 single 'Jos mä oon oikee' topped the charts and their debut album went multi-platinum. Later, 'Disco Fever' from the 2013 album 'Alpha Omega' became their biggest hit across Finland, Sweden, and Norway.
Cheek formed in the mid-2000s around Jare Tiihonen and Aleksi Valavuori. They began with hip-hop and rap before moving toward a pop and dance sound. Their catalog includes songs like 'I Wanna Be Perfect (2 Person Version),' 'Nothing At All,' and '1140.'
