Growing up on the edge of Dartmoor, UK, Charlie’s musical journey started at local jam nights with his grandad, who opened the door to a mix of folk, blues and soul that still runs through his sound today. By his teens Charlie was playing in bands around the South West, and from the age of 17 started touring round the UK and Europe. A little over a year ago, Charlie stepped out on his own, hitting the road in his van on days off to play shows and reconnect with what first hooked on music in the first place. His lyricism is honest and unfiltered, shaped by the music he grew up on and the landscape of rural South West England. Since releasing his debut single ‘Moonlight Hotel’ in May 2025, he’s spent much of his time between the road and the studio. Driving solo, sleeping in his trusty Ford Transit, and steadily shaping a sound that’s fully his. Charlie’s debut EP ‘Joy and Despair’ was written, recorded and self-produced in Cornwall, marking the start of a more defined creative direction. It captures the intimacy, honesty and raw emotion at the heart of his writing.
