A young talent aiming high

Montreal based singer-songwriter Oliver Charles is finally fulfilling his dream. Oliver realized he had a passion for music when he was a teenager and he taught himself how to play the guitar as well as the piano. After graduating from college, he got himself out onto the music scene by using his talent; his voice and his writing skills.

So far, the talented musician has released two EPs; "Rage of Fire" (2012) and his most recent one "Heart of Stone" (2014). His style of music is a mix of folk-pop and most of his songs are based on relationships, heartbreaks, and the highs and lows of life. His first single entitled "Don't Let Me Go", from his upcoming album dropping in early 2015, has a pop/rock/folk kinda sound to it that music lovers will surely enjoy. It's no surprise since his biggest musical influences are Mumford & Sons, Ed Sheeran and Christina Perri, just to name a few.

When performing live, Oliver is renowned for his charismatic stage presence. On December 14th, I had the chance to attend one of his live shows in Montreal at the Verre Bouteille Lounge. His interaction with the crowd was just incredible! He sang a variety of songs including the ballad "Desiring Flame", "Do You Mind", and the audience was lucky enough to get an exclusive acoustic version of "My Intention". Needless to say, Oliver Charles is an artist to look out for in 2015.
