This all started waaaayyy back when;...after his first couple of elementary school musical productions (Operettas) in the early `70's, Chuck's parents recognized his musical ability at a young age, and (in 1974), had him enrolled in guitar lessons at the age of 10. By 13 years old, Chuck was writing his first simple melodies, basic chord structures, and musical arrangements. At the age of 14, Chuck started playing in his first of various local Edmonton `cover` bands, which continued throughout his remaining school years, including his post-secondary education at the Northern Alberta Institute for Technology (N.A.I.T. - Plastics Engineering Technology), from 1983 -`85.
In 1986, Chuck took the opportunity to further hone his technical skills by working as the Audio Engineer and lighting technician for Edmonton's top Dinner-Theatre, until 1988, when he started as a Service Technician for a popular Western Canadian Retail outlet of Musical Instruments and Professional Audio. Chuck quickly worked his way up to Manage the Service Dept., and in 1989, received certification of technical training for high-compression driver maintenance and low-frequency transducer repair (for servicing professional loudspeakers and Public Address systems).
While Chuck was also busy developing a boardgame he invented as a child, he became the western Canadian (B.C., Alberta, Sask.) sales Representative for various musical instruments, amplifiers, and accessories in early 1991. Eventually (starting in January of `92), Chuck went on to work as a Purchasing Agent for western Canada's two largest Musical instrument/Professional Audio/Communications retail chains. While still employed as a Purchasing Agent, Chuck started his own Company (C.B. CONCEPTS) on a part-time basis in 1996, in preparation to offer his services as a "One-man Band"/Musical Entertainer; available to hire for live performances. After spending close to a year programming MIDI sequences during his spare time (ha ha), Chuck made his solo debut in May of 1997, and by the end of `97, was already booking live performances 6 months in advance!
After continuing to work night & day for a few years, with his schedule fully pre-booked one year in advance, and after much preparation, Chuck takes the calculated risk of finally leaving his "day-job" for good in January 2001, in order to pursue his musical endeavours (and other creative ideas) on a full-time basis. November of that same year (2001) brings the introduction of "LOOK TWICE"; a musical duo featuring Dwayne Allen & Chuck, who perform live at various Casinos throughout Alberta. "LOOK TWICE" and/or Chuck as a One-man Band are each available for hire at whatever special event you might have.
"ROUGH STUFF" is Chuck's debut CD, and is a collection of his own original songs which were recorded with a fine group of his long-time musical friends, each of whom, Chuck has played music with in various different musical projects throughout his career.
