Church, radio and house parties with my father behind the 1s and 2s are all vivid memories of growing up in Detroit. However it wasn’t until I began to foster a more personal relationship with God that I developed a deeper interest in music. As I cultivate my skills as a producer, I realize the influence that pop culture and music of the past have had on my creative process. The past few years have been an interesting journey revisiting the oldschool Funk and Jazz that Hip Hop is founded upon. Of all the music that I listen to, those 2 genres remain to be my faves and are a large influence on my style as an emcee and producer.

Whatup Charles ! Your Mariah mix is tight man !I really dig your style and approach to music...You have a sound, people can feel...All of your work,including the Mariah mix,has "the funk" stamped "deep in the groove "....
Respect to you...
Stay solid,deep and real.
Take care...ZiQue
I love Detroit City since a) i was born and raised till 16 in Detroit..... b) the song is hot..... love the beat and i might have to write a verse and submit for the remix if you want to do one.....
Hey there if you have a spare minute could you check out my Passenger - Do What You Like Remix and VOTE for me if you like it :) Thanks x http://www.indabamusic.com/submissions/show/2037
Charles checkin on that Mariah RMX right now. nice beat. Vocals should be up way more in the mix. chords have a bit of distortion, turn those down a bit. that will help. I like the groove. It works. I can imagine this in a lounge club. Love it when you spice up the attention around 1:45 in the mix. Just double check on the mixdown and there ya go. Check mine too. All the best.
The arrangements are great as well as the performances. The mix is captivating. REALLY REALLY GOOD STUFF!
Welcome to Indaba Charles! Saw your comment on the podcast and it's greatly appreciated. Looking forward to hearing even more of your music!
Nice to see someone keeping it real on the old school aspect, nice traks..........
