"If abuse and neglect had a baby, his name would be Hot Charlie." Hot Charlie was born to a Black Man from Memphis, Tennessee and a White Woman from "Small Town" Iowa. Spending his childhood back and forth between the two opposite worlds exposed him to a number of various influences. He is Black, yet White; Midwestern, yet Southern. This makes Hot Charlie a very unique individual and it is strongly reflected in his music. Influenced by artists like Scarface, Eightball & MJG, UGK, and Ice Cube; Hot Charlie began to experiment with writing verses and songs until it developed into a full on passion. He began making tapes and selling them in the midwest and gained a bit of local notariety. At the same time, he gained local notariety for another product he was distributing...crack coc*ine. In 2001, Hot Charlie moved to Los Angeles to persue music full time. He signed on with a nationally known talent agency and things began to take off. But his success was cut short by a federal conspiracy indictment and subsequent 14 year prison sentence. In February 2009, changes to the federal sentencing guidelines awarded Hot Charlie another shot at life and a renewed passion for music. After 8 years behind bars, Hot Charlie is back!
