About the Artist:
Charles “ChuckJay” Walker is from San Jose, CA where he and his three sisters were raised by Charles and Felicia Walker. Brought up in the church by a COGIC State Organist father, Charles was heavily influenced by Gospel music. He went on to graduate from Gilroy High School where he started his choir journey, and went on to study music at West Valley College and San Jose State University. He then started producing music and playing piano in 2015, after his father’s passing. He moved to Grand Junction, CO in 2016 for a fresh start and new beginnings.
Wave 11, one of Grand Junction’s premiere bands, was formed in 2017 with former bandmate Zack Couron. Wave 11 released an album “Wisdom and Strength” and performed at many big festivals and local venues in Colorado. The band now consists of Derek Suiter and Charles Walker, providing a new high-flying hip-hop show that’s bound to make you jump! Charles also teaches private lessons for vocal singing, music production, songwriting, drums, piano, and music theory. While working at The Winery, he enjoys being able to provide music influence to the community of Mesa County and plans to continue music excellence at the highest plateau possible. He lives with his wife Zoe and daughter Winnie in Grand Junction, CO and enjoys being with family and friends.
Charles Walker's dates of residency are May 2 - August 8, 2022. To view all the upcoming Artist in Residence events, visit the Event Calendar at mesacountylibraries.org.
