I am a danish singer/songwriter with inspirations from the alternative, the proggressive and the soul.

I started as Charlie Kay in spring 2009. I love to experiment with different genres, and as a solo artist I can do as I please. I'm often bringing friends in and getting them to contribute to the music in their own way with a solo, background vocal og piano, whatever they're capable of and wants to. And for that I am truly blessed to have so many good friends who are so excellent at beeing flexible and creative.

I've played in several bands including Karen's Overdrive, The Sweetest Two, The Bakersfield, Drown The Ice Cream Truck and Extravagrant.

I'm in the band Dead End Pawns, and we released the EP "Elusive" you can stream on this page.

I'm also one half of the electronica duo puppeteaters.

Why this name?

My name is Charlie and my father always called me "Little Kay". And voila, you have: Charlie Kay!

Do you play live?

I've played a lot of drunken, stupid, great, awesome and horrible concerts with bands. As Charlie Kay, I've only played a few places acoustic.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

In good and bad ways. Music is way more accesible. On the other hand it's not as cult as it used to be.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Only if I could have it my own way.

Your influences?

Steven Wilson, Maynard James Keenan, Drew Sarich, Tim Christensen, Clint Boge, Layne Staley, Brandon Boyd, Eddie Vedder, and many many other incredible artists I can't think of right now.
