About me
Jackson Charles (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Raukawa ki te Tonga) is a 22-year-old artist that originally hails from Taupō, New Zealand. When he started piano lessons at the age of 5, he knew that music was his passion and has been playing/writing tunes ever since. His well-thought-out songwriting and emotive lyrics place him as a strong up-and-coming artist within the New Zealand music industry, and he’s already garnering attention from NZ music heavyweights such as Francis Kora (Kora, LAB), Clint Harris (OpShop) and Scott Seabright (producer of Troy Kingi, Six60, Broods, Neil Finn), alongside various other NZ media outlets.Qualifications
