Biography
Charley Macaulay’s sensational voice, uplifting sound and innovative writing style has won her much deserved praise and attention, and has established her as one of the UK’s most exciting new talents. Charley, who is just 17 years old, is a singer / songwriter who in 2009 came to prominence after winning the Under 18’s Live and Unsigned National Grand Final, beating over 10,000 other hopefuls from across the UK. Charley received her award from Radio 1’s Annie Nightingale and suitably impressed former Sex Pistols Manager Malcolm McLaren into the bargain!
2009 was a great year for Charley, as it also saw her reach Number One in the UK Undiscovered Chart with her refreshing, original track Superman, putting her on the radar of several record labels. She supported Anastacia and Escala in front of 8,000 people and completed a UK tour in the Autumn, taking in some of the country’s most prestigious venues including Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, Portsmouth Guildhall, Sheffield City Hall and Newcastle’s Journal Tyne Theatre to name but a few. Having had such a great 2009 at such a young age, how can 2010 be any better?
Well, she now has an excellent, young new band around her: Chris Smith (lead guitar), Tom James (rhythm guitar), Dave Rice (bass) and David Orten (drums). The band have added another, colourful dimension to her previous live work and allows Charley to do what she does best – sing. She is currently discussing several possible recording projects, has already been booked to play at the Isle of Wight Festival, the Glastonbury Festival and the O2 in London, and has now been confirmed as support to Will Young at Osborne House in front of 10,00 people. Include recently playing at a Jools Holland after show party and 2010 is shaping up rather nicely!
Charley is clearly one of the UK’s brightest emerging talents and with other noticeable accomplishments including being named Southampton’s ‘2009 Best Female Vocal’ and the ‘Voice of the Year’ rated by ‘The Mag’, Charley is destined for an incredibly bright future.
