Vibrant, ambitious, and extremely talented says the least
about the Bayou City's latest singing sensation, Charlie Berry.
She packs a range that flows from angelic highs to gritty down-south
lows, and possesses the natural ability to tantalize audiences
with her sophisticated vocal instrument.
A product of a musically saturated family, Charlie has been
embedded in music since her infant years. As a baby, Charlie's
father would sing nursery rhymes to her backed by the sounds
of his bass guitar, and her grandmother is a master of seven
instruments including the French horn, violin, piano and flute.
By the age of five Charlie acted on her family's influence and
began to hone her musical skills. Her grandmother taught her
to play the piano and violin, and Charlie adored putting on neighborhood
shows in her family's living room. From her birthplace of Tennessee,
to Dallas and ultimately Houston, Charlie's exposure to this
harmonious environment foretold her destiny in the world of music.
At ten years of age Charlie auditioned to be apart of the
now defunct Girlstyme. During this period she also performed
at venues such as Rushion MacDonald's Hip-Hop Comedy Stop, and
The Stafford Civic Center. Soon, Charlie's adolescent years proved
to be another milestone in her professional growth. She wrote
her first song, and was consistent in performing at various talent
shows, churches and school assemblies.
Throughout her career, Charlie has worked to position herself
among the elite in the music industry by possessing not only
beauty and talent, but brains to match. Charlie received her
secondary education at the prestigious Phillips Academy in Andover,
Massachusettes, where she was constantly called upon as a lead
vocalist. Her membership in the academy's choir and theatre departments
led to international performances in England, Scotland, Turkey,
and Greece. Upon returning to Houston, she enrolled into Rice
University where she is currently classified as a junior with
a major in music and managerial studies.
Artistically described, Charlie's music style is a fusion
of jazz, hip-hop and classic R&B. She is also labeled a vintage
singer. Her talents have allowed her to share the stage with
saxophonist Kyle Turner and guitarist Corey Stoot. Charlie has
opened shows for legendary artists such as the Whispers, and
new-school artists, Ludacris and Tweet. The gifted songwriter
has also appeared on a variety of local artists CD's including
Willie D. of the immortal Geto Boys. Charlie performs live regularly
with her four piece band, and has performed at local hotspots
such as Scott Gertner's Sky Bar, the Mercury Room, and the Red
Cat Jazz Café.
Charlie sites artists such as Gladys Knight and the Pips,
Sarah Vaughn, Aretha Franklin, Sade, and her personal music mogul,
Rachelle Ferrell, as influences to her career.
