About this user

Rarely does an artist so intrigue and captivate audiences like charleyBRAND. When people get a first good look at the Soul Singer they are never ready for what comes next. It's the voice. The voice that billows out of the dark & smoky Gin Joints of Downtown. The voice that floats into the uber-chic Supper Clubs of Uptown. The voice of Soul.

When the man first appears to audiences most see just another kid behind a microphone. What they hear? Well, take listen and you just might find yourself echoing the sentiment of the crowd, "what lies within charleyBRAND just may be the future of Neo-Soul and Nu-Blues."

It's obvious that Gospel Music has greatly influenced charleyBRAND and it is not uncommon for captivated audiences everywhere to draw comparisons to Donnie Hathaway, Bill Withers, Stevie Wonder & Bryan McKnight. So it comes a quite a surprise to find that charleyBRAND is the product of a predominately White-Middle-Class-Suburban upbringing. Inevitably the questions arise, "where does that soul come from?" & "how did a voice like that come out of a white boy?"

Well, charley prefers to address the cultural contradiction that is his music in a historic and rather philosophical sense. "I do know one thing", charley leans forward, "what moves me, what makes my soul wanna sing; has and always will be the healing powers of African-American music. From the Slave Spiritual to Gospel to Blues to Jazz to Soul & Hip-Hop. Each musical period addressed a social ill and each period helped to soothe the soul of the people living through that illness. I feel like the Lord has put me here to be a part of another musical healing process in America." Well, let's all get in line for the healing!

charleyBRAND (28) is a singer/songwriter/producer. He also serves as Executive Director of both The charleyBRAND Entertainment Cooperative & ThewisdomPROJECT. charleyBRAND is currently in the process of launching 400roots. He lives in Denver, Co. with his wife Angelique & son Cahlel. They are expecting another son in February.
