As Charles turned 14 he was invited to play for other youth,
which he felt could be the right move forward in the world
of music, together with his own singing and song-writing. At
this time he got extremely lucky, and landed a summer
break
job in the archives
of
the largest
Radio-station
on
the
planet,
picking up recordings for the radio-shows and programs,
(heaven to a young lad from a rough
neighborhood) this was the best thing that could happen to
him.
His ambition to learn more about music and get first hand
knowledge of what was in the making,
was a great boost for
his future possibilities. This was proven, when one night he
did some work for charity (slightly mentally and
otherwise challenged youth). At this party there was a man
from New Mexico, whom happens to be a rather well known
Artist/Deejay at this time, named Marvin. Marvin noticed in
this young Charles a potential he had
rarely
seen before, and
decided to take the young lad under his supervision and
teach him all he knew. Now many years in the future
Charles
has
managed to visit over 50 Nations and worked in
over 30
of them as an Artist/Performer/Actor/Producer-Dee-Jay, and Disc-Jockey.
He has
during
this time visited several Radio and
also a number of
TV stations
for
shows and a lot
of noise
making.
Charles
used to be
the lead-singer/band
leader of a UK band by the name of The
Revolution,
he wrote
most of
the lyrics, and is still writing
some
lyrics for a number of
other
Artists.
Charles desired many
years ago to work on his own ideas for music, not just what
he did with his own band, and a lot of other people, his own
ideas and feelings
undisturbed.
It is like he once told me. Art
is many things to
a lot
of
people, but
to one self
it is like an empty canvas,
if you do not pick up the brush
to
add the colours
and dept
yourself,
you will never know where you stand in your own
light.
Then if
some one else enjoy the creation, the creation has been
fulfilled and the creator knowing that the meaning behind
the creation has been appreciated and maybe even understood. |
