Chad Rodgers is a UK songwriter and producer with a knack for blending timeless, melodic songwriting with fresh, radio-ready pop production.

Specialising in building records from the ground up – from topline and lyrics to production, arrangement and mix – he has a sharp ear for melody and for hooks that stay with you. Equally at home creating euphoric choruses or refining the details that make a track feel current, Chad’s versatility and collaborative approach have made him a go-to for artists who want music that’s authentic but still hits hard.

As the artist behind Cape Cub, Chad’s songs have passed 70 million streams worldwide. These days, he spends most of his time as a creative partner for other artists, helping shape their sound and turn raw ideas into finished records. Recent collaborations include Loren Heat (Interval/EMI North), Finn Forster (Interval/EMI North), MARKETPLACE (Wipe Out / Singing Light), Benjamin Francis Leftwich (Dirty Hit) and Cattle & Cane – spanning everything from high-energy, playlist-ready singles to stripped-back, emotional ballads.

Chad is also in demand for bespoke work for brands, film and TV, with credits for The Glasshouse International Centre for Music, Duracell, Kielder Observatory and Tommy Hilfiger. His music has been featured on Grey’s Anatomy, the BBC’s Invictus Games, ABC’s Deception and Made in Chelsea – showcasing his ability to create songs that connect instantly, whether on a car radio, in your headphones, or underscoring a key scene on screen.

Whether leading a session, building an artist’s sonic world, or finding the heart of a song, Chad brings a mix of creativity, energy and calm confidence. That balance – along with a love of great songs – has made him a trusted collaborator in the North East and beyond.
