I caught up with him last week.
Rolling with the times and staying current in everything.
Understanding the power you have and how to use it for the greater good and to inspire.
I believe every artist will know when it's their time and it's time to share and teach the younger generation so they don’t make the same mistakes we made.
Music is my source of rescue, it shaped me to become the man I am today. Music is my life.
Check out my new single "Good Times (feat. Jayman)" distributed by @DistroKid and live on Google Play! https://t.co/FxbxRl3hsN

To have my story being heard and appreciated. Always learning more about my ability to write music and tapping into different genres of music writing.
Forgetting the opening line of the song, which caused the band to loop the intro again.
Kevin Hart. He is one of the hardest working people I have ever come across. Watching his documentary, Don’t Fck This Up, made me feel extremely lazy and showed me that I wasn’t working hard enough with my music.
My punching bag. I get to take out all my frustrations on the bag
Tequila shots.
I sing and dance, so with my original music I incorporate that style of performance. It’s a style we don’t currently have in the SA market.
Bekkies is my childhood nickname and to this day not many people know my real name lol. Some people just call me (B) lol. B Charles is my stage name. Brother B is what some will call me lol. Sir B Charles is the burger that is named after me from the Hood Kitchen.
I would be a boxer and a fitness instructor
Humble, hardworking, prepared, dedicated, giving.
My first single, “Closest to Heaven”. It reached number one in the Berlin charts and not being a signed artist. These things don’t just happen. That really made me believe in myself more.
My favourite word is ‘easy’ because life should be like that. Instead, we find the total opposite, so before I complain I say easy instead.
Track Pants because I am always in a rush to go someplace.
Mirrle sirrle. It means something is over but in a very hilarious way.
Open up my Creative Hub Project, a place for artists of any kind to have a place to go to and just network and link up with other artists.
Having my wife and daughter at my side throughout this journey.Nothing can and will ever top this. Family.
The music industry and we cultivate covers so much that people make million-dollar careers out of it and the original music does not get the full recognition it deserves.
That we never get to live out our full potential and to understand the true meaning of what it is to say you are living and not just alive. There is a difference.
Being grateful for whatever you have. We have not all been dealt the right cards in life, but work with what you have and bluff sometimes you will be surprised.
Work and sing my heart out.
Until you know who you are, you cannot know what you can become.
Once a year, I perform for the Tom Ro Haven where we raise money for horses and children.
Change things for the next generation of artists to come to make it easier for them.
