CHARLIE - O
SPECIALGIFT: When did you become aware music was your calling? During this time where did your inspiration derive from?
CHARLIE - O: I became aware music was my calling in 2008-2009. I was about 27 yrs. old. At this time I was inspired by the music I was Djing at local parties. Music from artist such as Ryan Leslie, Fab, Jeezy, etc...
SPECIALGIFT: You taught yourself how to manifest a beat and control your own equipment. That must has been a tremendous experience. Elaborate some on the emotions and efforts it took to comply?
CHARLIE - O: I sat in front of my laptop for hours researching everything from, the equipment I was using, even other than beat makers. I wanted to figure out exactly where my talent was in beat making. I quickly learned that I would grow to become a great sampler. I started off working wit software and quickly caught on. It was fun for me.
