CHARLES grew up listening to his father's songs from an early age. He secretly tried to study music, in fact his decision was to move to America in order to continue his studies and make his songs known.

CHARLES after travelling to Italy in 2003, Fell in love with the Italian culture, food, and clothes which forced him stay in Italy. His passion for music got stronger especially because he watched his father rehearse his songs.
It’s difficult not to notice the influence of his dad’s sound in his music and Charles didn’t mince words about it saying, ‘my dad influenced my music a lot. He’s my role model. I’ve seen him write, compose and deliver his music. I’ve never been that close to anyone to see how their music is done.

When asked his music genre, "I wouldn’t want to have a specific genre of music. I just want to deliver my music the way I feel it. If my musical inspiration comes in reggae, I will deliver it in reggae to my fans. If it comes in blues, RnB, Afrobeat, that’s the way I will deliver it. music is music’ he said.
