charlie stewart does not hide behind a pseudonym. With an ethos of authenticity, he shares his struggles with mental health, substance abuse, and recovery with raw honesty.

The Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist draws inspiration from his eclectic music taste and his education in ethnomusicology. R&B, house music, indie, and alternative rock, as well as his beginnings as a bassist while attending middle-school in Palo Alto, California, continue to shape his composing. He experiments with blending both electric and acoustic elements to create atmospheres unique to each track.

His influences are as eclectic as his music, drawing inspiration from artists like Alex G, Frank Ocean, Bon Iver, and James Blake. Reminiscent of Mac DeMarco, charlie shows off the ability to write honest, relatable lyrics in crafty and engaging ways.

charlie began writing songs in 2019, while studying music at Bates College in Maine. After obtaining his bachelor's degree, he pursued a certificate in audio engineering in Nashville, Tennessee. He started sharing his original music last year after developing experience as a DJ and producer and collaborating with artists such as ShepTheGuider and Cxld. Inspired by songwriters who share their deepest feelings and vulnerabilities, including his sibling Beatrice Blink, he hopes his music can provide catharsis for others who resonate with what he shares.
