Discovered three years ago when asked to sing in a crowd of the bustling Jazz Cafe in London's Camden Town, Charlene has been on a whirlwind journey releasing her debut studio album "Good Day" through JMC in 2013.
Her Journey...
Her musical journey thus far has allowed her to work with an array of musical talents, including Omar, Zed Bias, Andy Jay & S-Tee and Hil St Soul’s producer, but to date Charlene is best known for her critically acclaimed single “Second Nature” off of the compilation album Soul Independence. She is also one of the original members of the band Tygerstyle which was formed in her university years. In this playful soul union she played in revered establishments such as Zanzibar and the Magnet and began her musical journey.
To date this journey has brought her onto stage with established artists such as Honey La Rochelle, Elisha La Verne, and Kendra Cash, enabled her to perfrom on-air sessions for Radio1Xtra and BBC Radio London, seeing the release of singles “Spiralling” and “It’s Still You”.
Charlene is a difficult entity to pass by, with a strong sense of style, an engaging stage presence and lyrical prowess all wrapped up in a positive and polite attitude. It is this very energy that enabled a 'crowd member' to end up on stage with Conya Doss at the Jazz Café, Camden in 2011 and leave both the crowd and Ms Doss speechless!
You cannot watch Charlene and stand still.
Her lyrical aptitude demonstrates an insightful and emotionally sophisticated female living in a modern, urban world. But despite the concrete surroundings in which many of her tales are told, she can certainly take you to a higher place with her vocals. She doesn’t rely on vocal gymnastics to keep you captivated. Instead, it is her rich, earthy tone that encapsulates a vulnerable yet versatile voice which makes this multifaceted vocalist someone to look out for.
