ABOUT
Charlie began his musical career as a drummer, playing in various jazz and funk bands in Perth in the late '90s and early 2000s. Upon returning from a European trip, he discovered the art of DJing.
With an already eclectic and diverse taste in music, Charlie began to infuse his love of performing with his passion for record collecting.
Soon, Charlie began spinning at a variety of different nightspots around Perth, playing a wide range of funk, soul, hip hop, afrobeat, Latin, samba, house, disco, and reggae.
Charlie has supported many artists such as Roy Ayers, Femi Kuti, George Clinton, MF Doom, KRS-One, Aloe Blacc, Mayer Hawthorne, Arabian Prince, DJ House Shoes, Kurtis Blow, Basement Jaxx, Groove Armada, Blackalicious, Norman Jay, Mr. Scruff, Ghostface Killah, Amp Fiddler, Cut Chemist, De La Soul, Gilles Peterson, Fat Freddy's Drop, Erykah Badu, Q-Tip, The Pharcyde, DJ Dexter, and many more.
Charlie currently holds over 7 residencies, including 3 radio shows: Global Rhythm Pot, El Ritmo, and All City. He has performed throughout Australia, in New York, and the UK.
Charlie has been nominated for Best Perth DJ in the West Australian Music Awards for the last 5 years running and is currently the Best Hip Hop DJ in the Perth Dance Music Awards.
In August 2013, Charlie released his first 3 singles. The first was "Dynamite," featuring NFA Jones & Nick Sheppard (The Clash), which received regular rotation on Triple J and was included in the "Kiss My WAMI" compilation in 2013.
The second was "Gimme Something," featuring legendary UK MC "TY." The tune was received very well around the world and was put on rotation on key radio shows from Australia to the USA and UK.
The third was "The Park," featuring "Grandmaster Caz," an old-school block party-themed jam set in late 1970s NYC.
