AWARD WINNER
Vocalist and Multi-Instrumentalist
"Outstanding! Charlies voice is amazing. The style of his voice and the music are reminiscent of 70s jazz funk/Luther Vandross/Robin Thicke/90s R&B and a whisper of something that made me think of Ray Lamontagne, all under a Chet Baker umbrella.
It’s incredible and I can see the music entertaining whether people are roaming around meeting friends or my preference, enjoying a glass of wine, nodding along and staring off into the sky. "
