Bio

Before Char could sit down at the piano to write an EP, she had some thinking to do about the direction of her music. Starting at the young age of 6, singing along with country songs while travelling the world along side her parents, Char got a dose of diversity at a very young age. Relating to 90's alternative music got her through her teenage years without too much trouble. And following her High school graduation, Char took Applied Jazz studies at Mohawk College in Hamilton Ontario in 2001, opening her eyes and ears to many new and old styles of music and majoring in Vocal Jazz. After receiving honors and a diploma for her efforts, Char was looking for new concepts and ideas for her music career. She had heard from some fellow musicians from school how inspiring the West Coast was. Desperate for a new leaf to be turned, Char packed her bags and moved to Victoria BC. "It's the best thing I could have done" she says. And after playing blues, rock, jazz, pop, and experimental music, Char is now singing from the heart and playing all of her own original material as a soloist. She has collaborated with many musicians in the past and continues to do so, but right now it's her time to shine.
