Chaz Bear (formerly Bundick) was born in Columbia, South Carolina. In the Bundick household, Chaz heard music from many different genres, and he was already playing and recording original compositions in his preteen years. He began forming bands in middle school. Chaz had already released over ten albums as Toro Y Moi on his own before signing with Carpark Records in 2009. His latest album for that label is Outer Peace, written and recorded in the Bay Area after Chaz's return from a one year stint in Portland. The new record has elements of funk, Eurodance, hip hop, and ambient music, while remaining thoroughly Toro Y Moi.
