Raised in Yorkshire, Charlie grew up surrounded by music. He started playing in bands and performing at concerts from an early age. A chance meeting with a record producer meant that he pressed his first record at the age of 11. “We sold the record to the other kids at school, it taught me a great deal and showed me that there’s a lot more to the music business than just making music” notes Charlie.
After school (and armed with two diplomas in sound engineering) Charlie took up residence as studio manager with the influential dance label UDG. Based in Leeds (and distributed via Eastern Bloc) this extremely successful time saw the label release a series of highly influential underground hits. Tracks such as ‘On Your Todd’ and ‘Freebase’ would go on to receive critical acclaim from both the underground and mainstream music press.
Charlie later moved to London and became involved in a variety of studio sessions, engineering and producing at Abbey Road, Swanyard, and Mayfair studios. He was also lucky enough to be one of last musicians to ever perform live at the original Marquee Club.
His latest release 'Find Your Own Space' is a collection of chillout electronica written and recorded in Europe, America, and New Zealand. Charlie currently lives in the UK where as well as writing soundtrack music for Sony, Siemens and the BBC, he is currently writing and creating music for his next album.
