Charley Young

Charley Young was born in San Diego, California and raised on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Charley was exposed to music from a young age via both her maternal grandfather, who she would often vocally accompany as he played guitar, and her mother who possessed a vast cassette and CD collection. Charley grew up listening to Depeche Mode, INXS, The Pretenders, Madonna, and similar artists, all who have directly influenced Charley and her sound. Expanding upon these influences, Charley’s connection and deep reverence for nature often figures in her music as is evident in the lyrics to songs such as “Fiery Storm” and “Summer is Mine” to name just a few examples. Charley has recently played at The Bitter End, Bowery Electric, Arlene's Grocery, and Vinyl Music Hall.
