“Expressions In The Dark” is about all of the words and thoughts that are unsaid between two people when they are attracted to each other and look into each other’s eyes. So much can be said without saying anything at all. I wrote this song several years ago, and never thought of releasing it to the public. In my mind it was always too short, too simple, and no matter how many times I listened to it, I always heard something wrong with it.

"The Island, Pt. 1 (Dawn)" is actually a cover of a song by Pendulum that was released back in 2010. The original is a total EDM banger that always gets me hype and puts me in the best mood. One day I came up with this crazy idea of doing acoustic versions of EDM songs just to hear how they'd sound. I toyed with how I wanted to actually play the chords to make my cover unique from the 4/4 beat of the original house tune, and I hope you enjoy it!

“Saxo Love” is about my complete and total admiration for the saxophone in all aspects. This song is about the fact that I have had nothing but positive experiences because of the sax. I’ve had the opportunity to travel the world, earn money, support myself and my family, and spread insane amounts of joy to friends and strangers because of this instrument. I know so many people that are passionate about playing and listening to the saxophone that I felt we needed an anthem.

“Hangover.” is about the honeymoon phase of a romantic relationship coming to an end. Sort of like when you’re drunk and the euphoria of the alcohol starts to wear off. You become hungover, you get a headache, and begin to see reality clearly. When you first fall in love with someone, it’s a magical moment where anything is possible and the person is perfect. But once time passes, you begin to see the flaws, the imperfections—the reality.

My full length studio album “I Am Charlez360” released on 1.1.23 and I couldn’t be more excited!!! My goal with this album was to make the best saxophone music I’ve ever made. I wanted to discover my own personal limits on the saxophone while creating fun, genre-defying music that will make you dance. This album included an extensive writing process, hours of recording and planning, and dozens of sleepless nights.
