The Best Damn Ride | EP | 2014 |
Oxfordshire/Yorkshire based singer songwriter, Charlie's set generally includes an eclectic mix of upbeat pop songs tinged with the odd hint of blues, country or folk & maybe the odd original/cover in Korean, Japanese or Spanish.
Charlie performed 85 gigs in 2014 and has performed about 200 gigs in total. Charlie has started University at Nottingham, studying History with contemporary Chinese, so it is very likely her gigging will slow down during term time.

Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music, "Out there in Streaming Land there are naturally gifted singers and then there are the rest of us, and you can tell within seconds that Charlie Leavy belongs effortlessly in the first category. In the coming years she’ll be able to pick pretty much any direction she wants to and, with enough hard work, make a success of it."
Will Gompertz, BBC Arts Editor, “Charlie Leavy reminds me of a young Kate Bush”
Art Lagun, Nightshift, "True to form the first act tonight proves to be the most interesting. Charlie Leavy makes a big impact with just her voice and an acoustic guitar, sounding more California than her native Hook Norton. Relentlessly upbeat, one great song follows another, catchy tunes with straightforward yet personal lyrics like the poignant ‘Tongue Tied’. Only seventeen, she writes and performs with frank simplicity that comes as a breath of vitalising air, her take on Pixie Lott’s ‘Mama Do’ trouncing the original."
