In this exclusive double page article of Thunder magazine, we have been  getting to know named most popular male artist of 2019, Charli. With an in depth interview with him we’ve got all the answers you ever wanted to know about him, and some exclusives of what he is planning in the near future. 

Charli has been labelled as the leading male artist of 2019, for his recent headline grabbing  success at changing the game of pop all within the space of just one year. Charli has always been passionate about music and performing, this is highlighted by his early career before he became famous in the world of wider music and the media. Music has been close to Charli’s heart starting out at the tender age of 4 when he took to the stage in amateur performances  and then went onto win coveted roles on the West End stage from the age of 14. These began with very minor roles however he eventually grew into some of the most famous leading roles in the West End including Wicked, Matilda the Musical, Mamma Mia! however as you will find out, Charli has designs on even more fame and fortune. 

How did you deal with the pressure of your overwhelming success?

My success and fame hit me like a ton of bricks! I never expected how it would all pan out. , It all started when my friend posted a video of me showing her my song called falling, which was actually the song that brought attention to me and the first single I published. I created and it blew up from there. People found the video and asked me to releasethe song I had created. I believe that because my career lifted off so quickly I never had time to process it so I  think I never had time to deal with the pressure; it kind of just fueled me to go bigger and get better! 

How do you keep your music unique and do you think you have changed the way people look at the genre of pop?

I don’t think I’ve changed the pop genre I think I’ve given it a new feel, a more refreshed version.  Many people do say that my music is very unique however, I just think it’s my style so it’s true to who I am, that clearly makes me a unique person! However, all jokes aside I like to experiment with my music and create different sounds and beats that are unusual and that people haven’t heard before, this keeps people interested as its not mainstream and its different to what they are hearing all the time. 

What’s coming up on your agenda?

I have many plans, lots of things that have been announced, a lot of things that haven’t been announced and a lot of things are in the works, I’m extremely busy. Obviously, I have been announced as one of the main headliners of the UK festival reading and Boardmasters, I am also starting my tour in late 2020. But most importantly, I’m always writing new music and always exploring new sounds, so you will never be without any content from me! 

As Charli said he is planning on making more content for his audience. Well Thunder magazine has an exclusive from Charli himself, he has announced to Thunder that he is planning on releasing his new album named ‘Elevate’ in early June. Keep reading Thunder for the latest exclusives from Charli. ‘Never stop working hard, and you will reach where you want to be in life’ ‘Never be a sheep, be your own person and people will look up to you’.  These final quotes from Charli perfectly sum up how anyone can reach where they want to be just keep your passions close to you and never forget about them.
