Graduated high school in 1999 where he was a part of the Jazz Ensemble for 4 years. Winning many Downbeat Student Musician Awards with his Jazz Esemble. Then went on to Santa Monica college where he joined the jazz ensemble winning the Outstanding College Performance Award with his jazz ensemble for 2 straight years.

"the only purpose for me to record and play the sax is to worship God and give him all the glory" is what Charlie says so proudly.
