Little Charlie

bbc 1xtra

youngest professional DJ

UK Garage / Urban DJ and producer

DJ Little Charlie is just 16 years old (born on 7th January 1989) and is a UK Garage DJ. He started DJing when he was 11. His ability to mix music at such a young age and his confidence in front of large crowds always seems to astound people.

Charlie has left school now and is elevating himself in the world of the Urban dance music industry with a move into production and remix work. Little Charlie presents his own radio show on Manic FM every Saturday 6pm-8 often joined by special guests including MCs from the UK Garage scene such Kie and DT. The shows music policy is UK Garage plus upfront RnB and Hip Hop.

Charlie's feet are still firmly on the ground despite his media exposure at such a young age and is currently studying music technology at college which will benefit his career in the music industry. Charlie has done production work already having produced an upfront 4/4 remix of Mark 'Ruff' Ryder’s Old Skool Garage anthem 'Joy' coupled with the vocals of Nina Sky's 'Move Your Body' - hence the track title 'Move Ya Joy'. This track is an unofficial mix but has received an airing from DJ EZ on Kiss 100 FM.Charlie has also made a Grime remix of 'Joy' which shows his versatility.

There are currently negotiations for Charlie to produce a 4/4 remix of 'Me' the forthcoming single realease by acclaimed RnB starlet Sherrisa.

In the summer of 2005 Charlie made several appearances on BBC 1xtra there are plans for him to host a permanent show starting in 2006.

Charlie DJ’s at both over and under 18 events.

As you can see from his profile below over the past 18 months Charlie has also been playing RnB, Hip Hop and Drum & Bass sets proving his ability to change and his dedication within the Urban Music Scene. He has recently started to produce music and should have a tune out very soon.

Charlie has worked in Ayia Napa, Faliraki and the UK, he flies between the three all during the summer months. This year he will also be going to Kavos, Corfu. He has worked with nearly every single artist in the industry and is a big part of the scene himself.

Although Charlie is a DJ he also does a small amount of MCing, which always goes down well with the crowd. Clubbers of all ages have much respect for Charlie and enjoy watching him play. Since his appearances over the last three years he is recognised almost everywhere he goes in his private life and also his clubbing life.

Despite allowing Charlie to DJ in clubs, he is always accompanied by one or both of his parents and is never more than a few feet away from them at all times.
