Name: Charlie Scott

Birthplace: Flushing, New York

Currently residing: Whitestone, New York

Musical past and present in one rambling run-on sentence: grew up with 2 deaf parents who didn’t want to judge music so they let me pick anything I wanted, I blindly chose a rap album and proceeded to write poetry all my life fused with dirty rap lyrics, I picked up a bad drug habit and it ran on for 4 years until I was kicked out of my home, went to rehab, wrote an inspirational, musical good-bye letter to drugs, and when I came home I continued to write positive, reflective music that relieves issues and thoughts that rent space in my head.
