Loved all over the world, multi-talented Charles Segal has received many honors and awards - including Grammys in his native South Africa, where he won a South African Record Industry award (SARI) for Song of the Year for his country song, "My Children, My Wife."

Charles Segal's instrumentals blend feeling with the perfect combination of notes to stir the soul and ease the spirit; or ignite, delight and stimulate the mind. Whether it's his acclaimed children's music and full length musicals, romantic melodies, upbeat jazz or relaxing tunes, Charles had a unique and intuitive talent that moves his listeners.

Born in Lithuania, he was raised in South Africa, where he became a celebrity pianist and a prolific composer of over 1,000 songs, including many now traditional South African songs. Charles was the featured performer on over 200 commercial albums.
