Prior to their break up, Chiddy Bang was an American pop-rap group consisting of Chidera "Chiddy" Anamege & Noah "Xaphoon Jones" Beresin. The duo was introduced through former band member Zachary Sewall in late 2008 while they were studying at Drexel University, in Noah's hometown of Philadelphia, PA. Their sound is based on the fusion of hip hop and alternative using samples from artists such as Ellie Goulding, Radiohead, Sufjan Stevens, Passion Pit, MGMT, Matt and Kim, and Yelle. In 2013, Noah Beresin left the group to focus on producing and Chiddy Bang became a solo artist with Noah still playing a role as frequent collaborator.
