Honesty is essential to an artist's credibility. Hailing from Chicago, it is the truth in HARDcharlie's music that sets him apart from so many other artists. There is more here than just another little depressed emo kid singing his heart out with his acoustic guitar. There is a connection to be made with every listener; a way of liberating one self from the constant pummelling of daily life. HARDcharlie personifies hardship, and defines a path to overcoming it. Pouring his soul into his music, HARDcharlie brings new talent to both the acoustic emo and hip hop genres. Every song is composed with a raw blend of heart, head, and gut.
