Charlie is actually a jazz piano major. he's been studying jazz since he was 10. Also went to Berklee. I'm not into his music but I'm a fan when he jams on the piano and is not doing his particular type of pop. Don't get me wrong, I love pop music, I just find his oversaturated, strictly made for sales. It's my opinion. He can do much better pop music like so many have, specially with his talent.

Went to school with him, had brunch with him a few times. The dude's talented. People probably don't know he attended a famous jazz school on a full-ride, if not a presidential scholarship, on piano. He comes from money, so I'm sure that helps, but he's a great producer, mix engineer, and player... that's always been the case. Look at who did the work on Attention... it's him. Look at who else does work on their songs... it's a lot of people. He collaborates for sure, but he's always been a more-than-self-sufficient and autonomous enough of a producer/musician/player. Whether you like pop music or his style or image is another story.

Facts

[@marsh6689]

I have followed Charlie since he appeared on Ellen years ago. I was drawn to him immediately because he had been bullied throughout his younger life and music became his life. Every song he ever covered was better than the original artist releasing it. His mom taught him piano early on and his talent earned him his scholarship, not "coming from money" as written above. He was born music and as a pianist myself have so much admiration for everything he ever touches. I love his jazz training and natural ability to surprise us with those chords in his current music.

Most of people who's trying to learn music theory is sick of trying. It makes no sense until all those letters and numbers are translated into music itself. But while watching this dude, learning music theory is alot more interesting. Furthermore, you can find what you missed in music theory and learn it. Even if you're not educated in music theory(which is totally fine) can find this kind of things pretty amusing because music is such a mysterious thing and this guy is explaining it.

[@aaronbeckner1419]

The song around 14:30 is "How does it feel" from D'Angelo. The voicings in the original track are good, too.

[@HOVREDDY]

God damn. This brings me back to college theory. I was the only one to study jazz on top of classical theory and I’d sneak into the choir room after hours because they had a fully restored steinway grand that I’d practice on. I’d play for hours finding chords and making music. I miss it.

[@Nairrrrrrr]

Which college did you go to? I'm planning to go to Berklee

[@antsinyourpants4095]

That sounds beautiful man I hope that to be me someday in college living the life👍

[@davidfryer9359]

That could have been me making that comment. Dont let it slip out of your life. You don't have to miss it. Close your eyes and your there again. A simple exercise in remembering the past can end up being a journey back in time. With enough practice you will find yourself able to do it at will. Music and fragrances trigger my crazy time warps... I feel the bench I'm sitting on. Then I feel the actuation of the keys. I hear the chord progressions, then suddenly I smell the piano and the room around me. It all seems like its real. I swear Its like time jumping. Try it. Don't be scared...happiness and a piano are just a thought away. Sounds crazy but it works for me.

[@trilee8074]

Anyone can make beats since it’s easily accessible and since there’s a lot of tutorials out there nowadays, but it takes serious SKILLS to do what Charlie does, especially his piano playing. Dude is so good at what he does that it becomes second nature to him. He doesn’t even have to think hard about it. That’s the kind of level you want to be at if you want to be good at something. And all it requires is real dedication, patience, and hard/smart work.
