Charlene has just released her second CD of
original songs. It shows the deverse styles that have influenced her on
her musical "Trip." She is a classically trained pianist through
the Royal Conservatory of Music. Although she still loves to sit down and
play Beethoven and Mozart, she feels more compelled to write and play her
own compositions. Charlene
learned about the recording industry at Fanshawe College in London, studying
production and engineering. She then became "really" educated playing in
various bands ranging from rock, country, classic rock, gospel, etc. Touring
across Canada playing bars, concerts and recording studios.
In 1998, she recorded her first CD of 10 original songs
"Great Big Bite" which won "Contemporary Album of the Year" in 1999 for
the Canadian Gospel Music Association. "I'm on Fire" was nominated rock
song of the year, and she was personally nominated for instrumentalist
of the year. Another song from this album, "Real Love", had won song of
the year in 1997 and "You Took It All" was a finalist for in the American
Gospel Association song of the year in 1997. Six songs have received airplay.
Charlene worked on the project with David Rashed, member of the Canadian
rock group, Haywire. Between the two of them, they covered all vocals,
instruments and arrangements. On her second CD "Trip", Charlene would
again rely on David's production expertise. The vocal stylings range from
the blues, to jazz, to R&B, to rock, to 70's angst and a ballad. This
collection of 13 original songs reflects the influential artists in Charlene's
life Aretha Franklin, Bonnie Raitt, Ella Fitgerald, Diana Krall to name
a few. The songs had their beginnings in Florida and B.C. and their
final mix in P.E.I so when the title "Trip" was suggested for the CD it
wasn't difficult to agree. It really was a "Trip" and it's not over yet! |
