Charles grew up spending Sunday mornings blaring out his Dad's collection of soul classics whilst he hoovered the sitting room. The likes of Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross and John Legend all played their part in Charles discovering the sound he has today. Now a bit older, his ears have turned to the likes of Jordan Rakei, Nao and Sampha amongst other alternative soul and dark r'n'b sounds. Charles is set to release his debut EP later this year.
