He achieved early acclaim where his songs are noted in the National Museum of African American History and Culture located in Washington, D.C.

Charles taught himself how to play the Bass and Guitar. One day, while listening to the radio, a song came on called, “I’m Here To Love You”, by Michael McDonald of The Doobie Brothers. He became so inspired, he went out and rented a Piano for $25 a month. It was the Gospel/Soul style of Michael’s piano playing that moved him. He then developed a smooth, sweet vocal singing style that truly delivers the message in his songs. He began to perform with the bands Sequence 8, and Funny Bone, which led him to become a songwriter. Charles is known for his innate ability to write powerful lyrics and melodies that visually tell a story. His work has been featured on numerous commercials in the Central Savannah River Area (CRSA), and on artist’s recording projects such as Gladys Knight.
