Charlie Brown Is On His Way



I don't know if you've heard of new urban pop singer Charlie Brown but he's really looking to be the name to watch out for in 2013. I was sent some information on the singer and thought he looked quite interesting. Turns out that his debut single 'Dependency' featuring Yungen and Ms D caught the attention of Rich Castillo who was previously involved in N-Dubz's career and is now A&R at AATW Records. Apparently Rich was following Charlie for years and was waiting for the right moment to approach him. So as soon as that opportunity came into fruitation, Rich called Charlie at 1am in the morning and the next day Charlie Brown was signed to the AATW/Universal label.

Before Charlie was snapped up, he's been hiding behind the scene writing songs for the likes of Wiley, Jay Sean and The Script as well as working alongside some of the high profile hitmakers like Fraser T Smith (Adele, Ellie Goulding), RedOne (Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj) and FutureCat (Lilly Allen, Wretch 32, Rizzle Kicks). But in the back of his mind, he has always wanted to be upfront singing his own songs so that's what he did and now he has the opportunity to show the world what he is made of.

His new single 'On My Way' is an uplighting track written by our Charlie after a transitional period in his life. We all know about those moment, don't we? He says he couldn't find a song on his iPod to lift his mood so he wrote his own song. The lyrics 'You might work but I work harder / You might fight but I fight smarter / Might not be on top of the world, but hey, I’m on my way” is inspiring but yet understated.

I reckon our Charlie is going to do really well this year and some of the music medium even agree. OMG Yahoo said, “Charlie Brown is going to be HUGE in 2013. Mark our words!” and Daily Star Playlist claims, “After years spent flirting with success, Charlie Brown is ready for the big time!”

So watch out for Charlie Brown - I'm sure you're going to hear a lot more!
