Charlie Winston

Mi7's Geoff Southall co-produced and mixed tracks for both of Charlie's albums, the triple platinum selling "Hobo" and the more recent theatrical soundtrack "Mischievous". We have also had Charlie headline at some of our own London live dates as well as promoting his latest come back shows in the UK.

Charlie distills his music to its raw essence, a hearty modern gumbo of blues-folk, straight-talking lyricism, and soul, all laced with beatboxing and quirky instrumentation. From the anthemic 'Like a Hobo' to the existential campfire pop of 'Kick The Bucket', from 'Generation Spent's passionately strummed critique of contemporary culture (or lack of it) to the whimsically melancholy 'My Life As A Duck', the album playfully resists easy genre categorization yet maintains a spirited, contagious rootsiness that as taken off in France in a big way, eventually topping the charts. 'Hobo' was put together in London, Paris and New York with David Bowie producer Mark Plati at the desk...

"soulful voice and instantly hummable melodies" - The Observer

"...there's bag-loads of mellow blues-tinged, folk-rock on tracks like 'In Your Hands', 'Boxes', 'I Love Your Smile' and the pan-European smash 'Like a Hobo'...Verdict: Bliss"
