As a teen he recorded his first track in 2004 for Tree Top Records entitled “Woman is You” and cut a series of melodies during that year that started off his whole career.Some of his influences and inspirations in his own words were Bounty Killer "Killer is my general", Beenie Man, Yellow Man, Josey Wales,Terror Fabulous, Vybz Kartel, Buju Banton and the legendary Bob Marley. Recently voicing a song with Sean Paul, Timberlee, Merciless, Fambo and many others. In Charly’s words "it's all about working because music is life and Charly Black is putting out music".

Later this year,

Charly will be launching a few of his own personal projects which includes "Nuh Trupidnis",Trelawny Citizens Movement and his record label MultiTalented Music. Charly's recognition as a young artist is his greatest achievement in 2011 and Charly Black will continue to re-create the excitement of the past, present and future of dancehall music with new slants like "COOL NUH MAN" and "Nuh Trupidnis".
