"I must tell you that your piece, as well as the tone and nuance in your playing, is exceptional. There are many solo piano artists on the world stage today, yet not all can express emotion as you do in your music."
Dan Chadburn about 'Hideaway'
Solo Piano Project
Mid 2020 Charley released the first few singles of her debut album 'Hideaway'.
The solo piano album is a hybrid of romantic, impressionistic classical music and jazz.
"I was drawn in from the start and am glad to have discovered a new, captivating artist in the genre." - Greg Jones
She also created some mellow peaceful piano arrangements of Kanye West's latest album Jesus is King with a hint of classical.
The covers were in the top 200 iTunes classical charts of the US, Japan and UK for 6 days.
Charley's solo piano project (covers + original music) has been streamed over 250.000 times across all platforms since mid 2020
