He spent the first eighteen years of his life in Leland, Mississippi, soaking up the culture and the music of the region. He spent the next eleven years at the University of Mississippi, where he earned a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Music Education and a Master\u2019s degree in Music Theory. While at Ole Miss, Charly served as director of the university\u2019s pop music song and dance group, taught music theory and music appreciation, and was a university recruiter. He moved to Los Angeles, where he studied film scoring at UCLA, and provided original compositions and orchestrations for several television shows. During his nine years in L.A., he also worked as a bartender, a bodyguard, a limousine driver, and a private investigator.<\/p>\n

Upon his return to Mississippi, Charly settled in Jackson, where he became part owner and general manager of Hal & Mal\u2019s Restaurant, one of Mississippi\u2019s most well known entertainment venues and restaurant, with four active music stages. In addition to his role as general manager, he also worked as a festival promoter, talent buyer, event planner, and producer of Mal\u2019s St. Paddy\u2019s Parade, the state\u2019s largest single day event. He has spent his entire adult life as a music arranger, with many professional performers as clients. He is currently the staff arranger and orchestrator for two of the states largest churches, and composes for several high school show choirs. He also owns and operates Choirtunes, a music publishing service specializing in choral and vocal works. He is now revisiting his Delta roots as a member of the Delta State University faculty, teaching entertainment industry studies at the DMI.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
