“chamba” is a slang word for “hustle” or “grind.” It just came to me one day as I was cooking and my mom and dad were leaving and I heard my dad tell my mom to hurry up and she complained that he didn’t help her with this or that, and he was like, “Well, that’s your chamba!” I thought it was funny, but also it’s really phonetic – it’s something that everybody can say who speaks any language. Then I 
started researching it and other than a slang word, it’s also a province in India, and it’s also a slang word for a different type of ganja…I started going by that on my own. I was in a band that was doing pretty well and out of nowhere the members stopped being passionate so I started to do stuff by myself – I bought a computer and started producing by myself. I had all these ideas and the concept of multicultural music really intrigued me. Eventually I was playing shows for a whole year by myself for free just to put this new music out there and see if it even caught on with people and other musicians. And eventually I built up a monthly party at Alley Kat where I would play that style of music, and that’s the same time I met Coffee.
The bands Versecity and Lost Element last January icorporated their sounds to form Polarioid Summer.
They announced it via social media in for front on their single "Giant" released that February.
"The sound is more pop-heavy, bigger hooks, cleaner and fresher than either of our previous projects," says singer Micaiah Walker, who was the driving force behind Versecity.
Polaroid Summer includes former Lost Element members Trace Sisson (guitar), Kenneth Colon (bass) and Brian Barrett (drums).
