King Charles is an English indie singer-songwriter from West London.
Charles has been described as “an occasional shaman who tramples over the border of cool/not cool”.[1] He plays the guitar, piano, and cello, and has been classically vocally trained.[2] Having been writing music from the age of seventeen, in 2010, he won the International Songwriting Competition by unanimous vote.[3]
After studying Sociology for two semesters at Durham University, Charles returned to his hometown in 2007, adopted the pseudonym ‘King Charles’, and formed a group known as Adventure Playground. AP toured with Laura Marling and Noah and the Whale before disbanding in 2008.[4] He has also gone on tour alongside M&S and Mumford and Sons.
King Charles is currently writing and recording an album to be released in the spring of 2012.
