Cody ChesnuTT was beginning to live the life every struggling musician dreams about.  His band The Crosswalk was signed to Hollywood Records and had a completed a debut album Venus Loves A Melody when, without warning, disaster struck.  Victims of a political label treachery, The Crosswalk was sent packing and ChesnuTT's band abandoned him like rats fleeing a sinking ship.  Down, but no means out, Cody retreated to the comfort of his bedroom studio the Sonic Promiseland.  Alone and armed with an array of instruments, one microphone and a 4 track, a project of epic proportions evolved.  This informal, lo-tech setting allowed the Atlanta-native to capture the honest passion of his creative energy.  He emerged with his 'Musical Diary' THE HEADPHONE MASTERPIECE.  As the title implies the album was produced to give the listener a parallel experience with the one Cody had while recording and mixing all of the songs through Sony MDR 7506's.

A sprawling masterwork of genre-defying nuggets reminiscent of the golden age of pop radio, THE HEADPHONE MASTERPIECE is an evolution of Cody's life experiences, influences and creativity.

Cody's blistering live show has earned him a loyal following amongst his fellow artists and invitations to perform with The Strokes, Macy Gray, Saul Williams, Res and The (Legendary) Roots.  The Roots' upcoming album Phrenology features Cody collaborating with the band on their version of his song 'The Seed'.
