About This Item
When it comes to musical performance, Charlie Bereal has done it all. Over the course of his 20+ year career, he's performed with and written for some of the greatest Hip Hop and R&B artists of our time (JAY-Z, Aaliyah, Snoop Dogg, and Missy Elliot to name a few). Now, he's shifting gears to focus on his career as a solo artist. On 5/10/2024, Charlie will re- his second full-length record entitled 11-11-11 via Karma Chief and Colemine Records.Originally released in 2019, 11-11-11 was recorded over the course of a few casual hangs in Los Angeles. Charlie invited his friends Jairus Mosey and Raphael Saadiq to join him in the studio and the trio started to jam. InchWe were just recording for fun - it wasn't for a specific project at first. Afterward, I listened back and decided to turn the best parts into individual songs.Inch This flexible approach combined with Charlie's masterful production resulted in a soulful, psychedelic blend of original R&B. Think Sly and the Family Stone or Funkadelic.Charlie was born in Los Angeles and raised in Pasadena, CA. Musical talent runs in his family. He started performing at his grandfather's church at a very young age. InchMy grandfather was a pastor, and my dad was a preacher, Inch he explained. InchI started playing in the church band when I was 10, and I was drumming even earlier than that.Inch When he was 16, Charlie and his brother Kenneth started making music professionally. He still works on music with his cousins on a regular basis. InchI come from a very talented family. I can count at least seven family members who play professionally these days.Inch Beyond the re- of his second record, Charlie plans to record another album at Colemine's studio in Ohio. Stay tuned for more original music from this Grammy nominated legend. Album Tracks 1. 7-11 2. Get Ready 3. Yah Bless the Day 4. Come on 5. Give It a Try 6.
