Tre. Charles is an Alternative/Indie Soul artist who dives into the depths of his soul, inviting you into his world with an expressive blend of warm and soulful undertones, powerful lyrics, and emotive crooning; which helps you navigate your way through the encompassing experience. Raised along the East Coast from city to city, Charles was exposed to a myriad of different customs and cultures. It is from these experiences that he cultivated his sound, paying homage to his nomadic upbringing and lifestyle. With Charles not having been formally trained in music, it allows him to focus on conveying emotions in his most vulnerable capacity.
His sound has drawn comparisons of modern talents like Sampha, Hozier, and James Blake but also glints of classic pioneers like Muddy Waters and Lauryn Hill. Pitchfork contributor Brian Howe described Tre. Charles’s sound as “stretched and shifted vocal harmonies, and long-tailed reverbs and delays that hum like cathedrals.” Howe also continues with “This labyrinth of sound, blurred at the edges yet sharply etched in the middle, is where we find his just-woke-up voice and glinting guitar, his fingers tweezing jazzy splinters from thick barre chords. The overall effect is calming, but in a transfixing, time-halting way, like dancing candlelight.”
Tre. has acquired many cosigners along his artistic journey, one of which being the world renowned guitar company D’angelico Guitars who he is now endorsed by as an official artist. He has also been nominated for the Best R&B artist for the Carolina Music awards(2022), winner of the Virginias Favorite Award at RIFF(Richmond International Film Festival)(2022), as well as dubbed as the future of music at the 2022 NXNE music festival in Toronto.
