Charley Beck on SoundBetter

I'm a singer, songwriter and music producer with a First Class Degree in Performance Industries and 10 years of experience working in the industry. I have toured the UK, playing to crowds of up to 5000 and gained thousands of streams and views on my music online. In this time I also worked with legendary record producer Ken Scott (The Beatles).

I'm Charley, a 24 year old singer/ songwriter and producer from the UK. I can be the singer on your pop or pop punk song in my own professional recording studio with professional equipment. I've been writing and performing my own music for over 5 years. I now own my own studio where I produce music full time and I use it to bring not only my own music to life but others too.

So far I've worked with over 50 clients from around the world. Whether that's to help them finish writing a song or recording my own vocals for their song. 100% of my clients have been happy with the work I have produced for them and I don't intend on that changing any time soon.I strive for perfection in my work and you, the client are my number 1 priority. I mainly specialise in pop/ pop punk music but also have worked on country, rock and EDM.
