Jack Tyson Charles Artist Bio

Jack Tyson Charles is a force of nature. The son of British entertainment industry legends Craig Charles and Cathy Tyson, Jack has spent the last five years channelling the musical history and energy of his London hometown to cultivate his own unique brand of ‘Epic Soul’.
There is a raw honesty and intimacy to Jack and his music, and it is these qualities that led to him featuring heavily on virtuoso producer Lack of Afro’s 2014 album ‘Music For Adverts. This album proved a highly successful collaboration, leading to an explosive series of live concerts, BBC radio airplay and high profile features in the MLB 15 video game and the Delorean Motor Company’s triumphant advertising return.
In the years since that release, Jack has armed himself with a seriously enviable backing ensemble, including south London musical maestros Pharoah S. Russell, who has previously worked with Cirque de Soleil, The Noisettes and Emiliana Torrini, and Tom Driessler, former bassist for pop megastar Adele.
Jack and his band have gone from strength to strength on the live circuit over the past few years, wowing audiences at home and abroad with powerful intimate appearances and high energy stage shows alike. Highlights of this successful run include performances at Glastonbury, Soundwave and On Blackheath festivals, and notable support slots for musical legends Shuggie Otis and Shalamar.
The culmination of this musical journey is the ‘Restoration’ EP. Released in November 2016, Jack’s debut expertly blends the vintage sounds of his influences with his own inimitable vocal style, creating a glorious fusion of the past and the present. The EP is a celebration of the past five years of musical growth and discovery, and an introduction to a unique talent destined for a stellar future. Read more on Last.fm.
