Musical career
general
Charly's musical career actually started when his uncle gave him an old acoustic guitar and a Jimi Hendrix album at the age of 9. Since then he's fascinated by guitar music, so he normally played his guitar all day long and even missed classes in school because he prefered playing guitar.
Due to the fact that Jimi Hendrix became a sort of role model for him the acoustic guitar soon wasn't enough anymore. After begging him for months his father eventually bought him his first electric guitar at the age of 11. He started covering Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Rolling Stones and, of course, Jimi Hendrix.
Charly founded his first band, Dark Force One, at the age of 12 with some high school friends. The band focused on covering old school Thrash Metal songs mainly taken from Slayer, Metallica, Exodus and Sacred Reich trying to perform these songs in a modern way.
Charly's still improving his guitar skills especially being influenced by NWOAHM bands. After the split of Dark Force One he founded I Do Bleed with some friends from his neighborhood and he took the role of the lead singer for the first time in addition to playing the guitar.
He's also interested in playing other instruments such as piano and drums.
