Band of the Month: Chezz Anderson

Chezz Anderson, a Phoenix, AZ-based musician, fingerboarder, and film photography enthusiast, has made a lasting impact on both the local fingerboarding and music scenes. Over the past two years, he has connected with nearly every major figure in the Arizona fingerboarding community, including Jose of Rizen Fingerboards, Jordan of AZ Fingerskate, Tom of Sadood, and Kyle of Ureth.

His fingerboarding journey began after meeting Tom (Sadood) during a night out in Flagstaff. Tom invited him to his art studio, where he had a custom-built park. From there, Chezz attended sessions at Nate (@ifoundnate)’s home sesh and Jose’s Rizen sesh, solidifying his place in the community.

Music has been a part of Chezz’s life since age 14, when his mother gifted him and his brother guitars. Though he took a break from playing, he returned in 2016, forming the pop-punk band Trust Your Gut before joining No Time and later founding POINTBREAK, a project close to his heart. Over time, he joined Hardluck.MF, Reason to Suffer, and Umera, while also launching a temporary punk band, Ingrate, with his brother Taylon.

His most memorable fingerboarding experience was being sponsored by Noah of Doom Lagoon and Kyle of Ureth, along with hosting Games of Skate at AZ Fingerskate. In music, touring the coast with his bandmates and brother remains an unforgettable experience.
With AZ Finger Skate Event 13 and the Texas Rendezvous revival ahead, Chezz continues to push boundaries in both music and fingerboarding.
