I wrote this back in early 2013 when I was 16, but it really needed better piano. Ildome added that and then 1868 added his production and Kien his French rapping.

"The Best Damn Ride" EP now available  goo.gl/j5BHvX

Now based in Glasgow, singer-songwriter Charlie previously gigged mainly around Oxfordshire.  Charlie's set generally includes an eclectic mix of upbeat pop songs tinged with the odd hint of blues, country or folk & maybe the odd original/cover in Korean, Japanese or Spanish. 

Singer songwriter & winner of the London 2015 Pride's Got Talent Cabaret, Charlie headlined the Pride stage at BST Hyde Park on Sun 21st June, followed by 3 stages at Pride the following weekend.

Since starting, Charlie has performed about 350 gigs in total, slowing down whilst at the University of Nottingham, studying History with Contemporary Chinese Studies.

Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music, "Out there in Streaming Land there are naturally gifted singers and then there are the rest of us, and you can tell within seconds that Charlie Leavy belongs effortlessly in the first category. In the coming years Charlie will be able to pick pretty much any direction he wants to and, with enough hard work, make a success of it."

Art Lagun, Oxford Nightshift, "True to form the first act tonight proves to be the most interesting. Charlie Leavy makes a big impact with just his voice and an acoustic guitar, sounding more California than his native Hook Norton. Relentlessly upbeat, one great song follows another, catchy tunes with straightforward yet personal lyrics like the poignant ‘Tongue Tied’. Only seventeen, Charlie writes and performs with frank simplicity that comes as a breath of vitalising air, his take on Pixie Lott’s ‘Mama Do’ trouncing the original."
