Chameleon Project

Hailing from the vibrant musical landscape of Toronto, Canada, Chameleon Project showcases the city’s diverse and eclectic music scene. Since its inception in late 2003, it has carved out a niche with its unique fusion of electronic music, funk, disco, dub, and psychedelic rock, captivating audiences with mesmerizing performances and innovative soundscapes.
The band is the brainchild of visionary guitarist and songwriter Josh Laing, who aimed to create a musical experience transcending genre limitations. Drawing inspiration from a broad range of influences—from the disco and funk pioneers of the ’70s to the improvisational spirit of jazz fusion and the electronic influence of rave culture—the band embarked on a sonic journey without boundaries.
At the core of the Chameleon Project’s ethos is a commitment to experimentation and improvisation. Each performance is a dynamic and ever-evolving exploration of sound, ensuring that no two shows are the same. Through their seamless blend of live instrumentation and electronic wizardry, they create intricate sonic tapestries that transport audiences to otherworldly realms.
Chameleon Project’s discography includes several acclaimed albums, such as *Funk ‘n’ Space,* and they have garnered praise from both fans and critics for their innovative approach to music-making. Their relentless pursuit of sonic exploration has led them to share the stage with renowned acts such as The New Deal, Lotus, DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist, The Disco Biscuits, Charlie Hunter, and more across Canada and the United States.
As they approach their 20th anniversary in 2024, Chameleon Project continues to push the boundaries of their craft, preparing to release their fifth album, *Vanishing Point.* This new work features an array of original compositions that blend dance-ready grooves with thematic vocal samples and jazz-informed improvisation.
