Charlie says: "My name might be common but my style is alternative. I'm Charlie Smith a singer-songwriter from Hampshire, UK. The sound of my music is chillingly sweet, raw, and emotive.

"In keeping my honest approach to music my recordings have no unnecessary effects. Focusing on chords and melody above all else. I'm proud of my music not because it's perfect but because it tells a story."

In October 2023, Charlie embarked on his first solo tour of northern England, performing in Leicester, Liverpool, and Stockton. His most recent 'DIY Tour 24' was built around showcasing local musicians and took him to various parts of the south of England, including Brighton, Portsmouth, London and Southampton.

As a recording artist, Charlie focuses on homemade DIY recording and has amassed over half a million streams on Spotify. He has also charted 17 times on the Apple Music charts, with his highest position being number 15 in the Argentinian Singer/Songwriter charts.
