[@creightonhottel4363]

Charles u are a young visionary & icon. Your music gives off some of the craziest vibes & I have met some of my best friends through the love for your music. Thank you for all that you do, would love to get more consistent streams from you, as this was an absolute treat to watch live on RoomServiceFest but also on repeat in the future

[@jonbecherer5103]

CharlestheFirst thanks dude, just came to the comments after experiencing lots of important feelings to work through. After listening to the “StarCrossed / head above the water” track. You succeeded in your goal of reaching those in need of healing with me for sure. Thanks for the help

Rest In Peace KING Charles. You’re music touched so many people indescribably. Your music is so powerful. Grateful we’ll have that forever. Going to be painful for a long time. You are the goat. Incredibly inspiring, as a human even. Brought so many people and talented artists together. So many memories I’m forever grateful for

I don’t think it’ll ever stop hurting to think about what a tragedy it is to have lost Charles. Mourning an artist that so profoundly impacted the community echoes forever. We love you Charles. Wish we could have your gifted existence back in the flesh again :( thank you for sharing your beautiful, timeless art with us

[@cytoarchitect]

This is such a beautiful comment ❤ thank you for this

[@AidanofVT]

What I love about your music is that it works as smooth groovy background music, but then once every few minutes it demands your attention. Not only are these more dynamic parts a pleasure, but it helps you remain mindful of the music through the ensuing downtempo parts.

[@trillianquest]

AidanofVT couldn’t agree more here. It’s the perfect balance of sound to keep you relaxed while the creative juices flow and the mind wanders. Love it.

[@kevinholmes9982]

@@trillianquest right.. I can read challenging books to this and the intense surprising parts make me stop and just soak in the glory, before getting focused when the ambiance kicks in. Gotta love Charles

[@Jay-sl9jo]

Man, why is nobody talking about how incredible these visuals are? Who made these?! It's absolutely amazing how well they match with Charles' music. The lonely, eerie feeling of electronic glitches mixed with sounds and visuals that feel so natural. This is such an amazing audio-visual experience.

[@belikemike06]

Your music gave me confidence when i felt small i could go on forever with how much you and your music positively affected the outcome of the world and many lives in it .. when i learned of your passing it felt like a knife in my heart, and the knife is still there because of how difficult your loss has been.
