  • I believe in you. You're good and you're passionate..potent combination. I wish you all the luck in the world.

  • Seriously! Don't get shot! LA is some serious shit. I've never tried to get "out there" but I know a lot of people are picked up from doing gigs at cafes, restaurants, bars, hell, even a comedy spot would be good for you, you've got a lot of good material. I'd say, just get out there. If you see a place you'd like to perform at, grab your guitar, have some printed out lyrics with you so you don't mess up your lines while playing :P and go for it! Good luck Charlie! I'd see you in concert any day

  • Good Luck!!!! i wish you the best cuz i find what you do very entertaining and that you are very skilld in what you do :)

  • Good luck! As we say in Japan, Ganbate!

    And just because your passion is music, doesn't mean it has to be the only thing you do. Your path can be inspiring people with your music (which I think it is because you're music is amazing), but your day job could be something else. You know what I mean?

  • Hey Charles!

    I relate to your videos. Im floundering. My

    passion is art and design, yet we're taking the safe route with guaranteed income. In these pressing economic times it's hard to quit.

    But the nagging guilt that we're not using our full potential is Its tough to tolerate,but you'll make it. We have our outlets. Im going to force time to start on the YouTube world like you have. We can dream.

    Good luck! See you @ work some time

  • hey if you need any of those mcdonalds game pieces i would glady send you the ones we get! we dont play!

  • Don't drop the soap.

    Nah,just kiddin' Charles.

  • good luck and i love your ideas i should do something like that myself

  • Good luck out there big man. Follow your heart but listen to your head.. too good to be true is often just that.. Good luck!

  • Good luck man!

  • So youre DJ's male partner. Cool.

  • It says music for life :P

  • First thing First. Once you get there Find the Musical scene you fit with people with the same interest and ideas. since these people could give you Pointers and help you out ALOT.

    Goodluck Charlie

  • are you going to keep vlogging your move and musical adventure? I'm just wondering because I haven't seen any videos of you going outside and I'm concerned that you're going to be too scared to leave your house or something.

  • don't let em grind you down

  • Good luck man, lol of you make it can I be your drummer?

  • Good luck dude, lol if you make it can i be your drummer?

  • good luck!

  • I see you primarily as a songwriter. You're not a bad guitar player/bass player but arent at a professional level.  How do YOU expect to make any money?

  • COOL STORY BRO!

    no, actually man, good luck with that stuff....

  • THE STATION WILL KEEP U DERR

  • dam strait bro, bought time you do what YOU want to do. dam happy for ya. your music is great but dont forget that looks sell, so spiff yourself up bro and go get them. make it big.

    me and the wife wish you the best on making it to L.A-- dont give in when times seem like your dream is to hard to grasp. you can do it bro.

  • good luck dude! ill have to come to LA and visit you that would be awesome

  • I'm Excited!! This will be a fun adventure for you! and I will so help out where I can!

    Proud of ya!

  • I saw the video via twitter. The first 45 seconds make sense but after....O_O

  • Don't go to LA.

    You should live in my little area. About an hour from LA but far enough away that not everyone is a douche. And record labels are here too.

  • goodluck sir charles!

  • Didn't you only just move though?

  • I wish you the best Charlie.

    I'll still watch your videos no matter where you live.

    I hope you play a show near me.

  • yo man do you think yuo can make a huge detour and make a pit stop in ottawa canada :Plmao jkk man

    i hope LA treats ya good

    hope you still keep making vids when your in la

    good luck man

  • Wait, didn't you say the same exact them before? Minus the moving part.

  • YES YES YES YES!!!! i have been waiting for you to finally come around and make this decision man!! good for you!!

  • good luck, try and bring me :]

  • I wish you luck dude. All you can do is try.

  • in my opinion, go to Oak Island, North Carolina. it's next to wilmington. LA is filled with bad record labels filled with greed and whatnot. Oak island (which I have an aunt who lives there) is a nice historic island with lots of seafood restaraunts with live music. I love the musicians that play down there. there are a lot of them that get record labels as well. all without the putrid carbon monoxide infested air of LA. trust me, it's worth it.

  • I think you should stay in school and wait. Dont make such a huge choice and have it maybe fuck up your life : / good luck with it though.

  • good luck!

    very impressed by your outlook!

    very inspirational

  • p.s. you should smile more often.

    3:12 to 3:17 was really beautiful.

  • good luck charlie. you have way more guts than i do.

    you are right when you say that you'll never know if you don't try.

  • you cant just go there and it will magicly work out for you, there are so many people that try doing stuff like this and fail, your a good artist and all but i dont no if your taking the right steps to becoming famous.

  • I won't tell you what you're doing is wrong, but your taking a bad route. Sow seeds in LA first, don't think you'll get there and magically you'll slip into your new life. The reality is you'll be very alone and perhaps even incapable of supporting yourself. I like the enthusiasm, but even the best plans forged from the flames of passion need logical thoughts behind them. Just do it doesn't work, "Just find a way to do it" works much better.

  • GO FOR IT!

    I left my hometown (NYC) 15 years ago, and will never regret it!

    Good luck, work hard, and get your life!

    woohoo!

  • Nice dude. Go for it!!

  • Totally agree with you Charlie.

    People that make it as musicians didn't make it by thinking 'i won't make it'. They made it by thinking 'I WILL do it.'

    Pure determination.

    I reckon its a great idea to move. Good luck =]

  • I think you should just go give it a 100% and go all out trying it!

  • dude good luck really good luck :) ill see what i can do for you ok :) ill look it up get some tips for you good luck dude take life by the horns

  • my girlfriend likes your beard!

  • sorry dude i just have no advice on this one man. i know how you and people and me for that matter can really get fed up with life and the direction its going, but you have to remember that life gos in the direction you point, but moving arrr i don't know man. how about a holiday there and see what happens and then you can come back if u have no luck. you r very talented but so are a lot of people man, and they all want the same deal. be a doctor it may lead you to it that way.

    peace bro!!

  • naw dude, I don't know if you're a musician or not, but when you want to play music for a living, you are going to absolutely HATE other jobs. If the Charlie doesn't want to be a doctor, trust me, he ain't gonna do well in school and he isn't going to be a good doctor.

  • How can you inspire people and incourage people and heal people if you cannot even inspire yourself? Randomly deciding to move to LA isnt an inspiration, it's a dream. You're hoping for luck. I think instead of wasting time making these Youtube videos ranting about how your life sucks you should actually do something. I know you want to make music, but being a doctor by day and a musician by night is a pretty good gig. Just saying, a backup lifestyle is always a good lifestyle. Sorry man.

  • Here's s tip, Shave that dirty ass beard and stasch!!! Oh and big mistake moving man. Stay where you are and GO TO COLLEGE!!!!

  • RHCP FTW

  • What does being in LA mean for your music career? (And I mean that without any snark.)

  • after this video i had a sudden urge to rock out to journey

  • did anyone else get the chilli peppers reference from the title?

  • Yes

  • hey charlie, can i live with u when i move out to la when i turn 18? hah

  • I have no advice, but I suggest you start a video blog of your journeys, gigs, I'd love to watch that kind of thing. Maybe a mix between shay vlogs / wax vlogs.

  • Sounds like a bad idea to me, Charlie.

    But you probably need to go out and do it, if that's what you feel you gotta do.

  • You have to have a job... You have to have room mates that won't do you in the butt while your sleeping... You could be a music bum if you wanted... I'm sure you could buy a couple big macs with the money you make... just dig in the trash and find yourself a bucket to sit on... Play music all day while you watch all the people with jobs walk past you and throw some change into your guitar case... Or you could stay where your at and go to college and play music... where your at...

  • I would send out tapes and liks to your music to people out there to see if you get any feedabck before you go out to la.

  • Second.

    -Darko

  • Do what ya gotta do.
