Charlie Smyles debut album ‘Charlie Smyles vs Captain Shophie’ was released to the public in 2010. A mixture of jazz blues, alternative rock and electronica – pushing the boundaries of coherency with lyrics that challenge the listener. He later produced and published his second album called ‘Electro Sold-Out’ in 2012, which is pure electronica mixed with dreamy melodies as though he is whispering into his audiences ear of a new era.

Trained in all aspects of Theatre, acquiring a Bachelor Of Arts (majoring in Theatre Studies) at ‘University of New England’ (2000-2004). Later he moved to Melbourne where he studied Jazz/Contemporary Music – primary instrument piano – acquiring an Advance Diploma of Music from ‘North Melbourne Institute Technology’ (2008-2009).
