Charlie Cunningham has emerged as a truly under-the-radar success story. Splitting his time between piano and nylon string guitar, Charlies melancholic yet rhythmically driven songs have seen him become a regular fixture in Europes most prestigious concert halls.Despite his dyslexia making it near impossible for him to read music, Charlie earned a music degree and by his mid-20s worked a variety of odd jobs and wrote songs in his free time. Eventually, he moved to Seville, immersed himself in Flamenco music and focussed intensely on his guitar playing. Planning to stay for 3 months, he stayed for 3 years. Once home, Charlie found work playing in bars across London and Oxford eventually returning to songwriting. Charlie has subsequently released 3 albums and 4 eps which have garnered over half a billion streams.His new album In Light offers a luminous blend of gently pulsating organic production, soaring melodies, and Cunninghams signature masterful guitar work. The arrangements, understated yet dynamic, respond instinctively to his voice, weaving in unexpected key changes, moments of distortion, and atmospheric flourishes. Collaborators include Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno), who provided additional electric guitar parts, and drummer Liam Hutton, production and mix by Luke Smith (Keaton Henson, Foals, Everything Everything), and visual design by Gary Barber.
