Charlie Winston grew up in a musical family, but his career truly took off when he played as a musician on his brother Tom’s debut album. He formed his own band, Charlie Winston and the Oxymorons, and a pivotal meeting with Peter Gabriel led to an invitation to be his support act. In 2007, his debut album ‘Make Way’ was not a commercial success but opened doors to performances in France and Germany.
With his second album, Charlie firmly established himself as a solo artist. The album and lead single ‘Like a Hobo’ topped the French charts and achieved great success in Belgium.
His fifth album, ‘As I Am’, was created during the lockdown and recorded in Vianney’s Paris studio, resulting in an intense collaboration and the stunning duet ‘Shifting Paradigms’. Emerging from the pandemic stronger than ever, Charlie delivers a powerful album, showcasing his signature blend of universal pop, folk, and piano-driven melodies, with touches of funky guitar.
