Musical artist

**Mark Chadwick** (born 28 November 1969), better known by his stage name **Chad Jackson**, is an English [DJ](/source/Disc_jockey), [remixer](/source/Remix) and [record producer](/source/Record_producer). He is best known for his hit single "[Hear the Drummer (Get Wicked)](/source/Hear_the_Drummer_(Get_Wicked))", but he also created member-only mixes for the [Disco Mix Club](/source/Disco_Mix_Club) (DMC).

## Music career

Jackson was born in [St Helens, Merseyside](/source/St_Helens%2C_Merseyside), England.

He won the [DMC World Championships](/source/DMC_World_Championships) competition in 1987.[1] His career started in 1990 with his debut single "[Hear the Drummer (Get Wicked)](/source/Hear_the_Drummer_(Get_Wicked))", which consisted of [samples](/source/Sampling_(music)). It was a hit, peaking at number 1 on the [UK Dance Chart](/source/UK_Dance_Chart) and number 3 on the [UK Singles Chart](/source/UK_Singles_Chart).[2] The track was based around a horn sample from [Marva Whitney](/source/Marva_Whitney)'s 1969 single "Unwind Yourself" and also sampled the 1973 song "[For the Love of Money](/source/For_the_Love_of_Money)" recorded by [The O'Jays](/source/The_O'Jays). However, his second single "Freedom to Party (Construction Mix)" failed to chart. He then made a remix of "[I've Got You Under My Skin](/source/I've_Got_You_Under_My_Skin)" by [Frank Sinatra](/source/Frank_Sinatra) along with DJ Luca. It was released on Juno Records in 2011.

He has also performed under the pseudonym 'Drumscape'.
