Charlie Why

Charlie Why. At 18, Charlie Why is already recognised as an innovative Australian DJ and producer, having started making music in 2005. Two years later, he is a regular performer at parties and clubs around Brisbane and has supported acts such as TIM SWEENEY(new york), COUSIN COLE(new york), RICHARD SEN(uk), LOST VALENTINOS(sydney), MIKE CALLANDER(melbourne), STA(canada), KNIFE MACHINE(kitsune) and many more. With such success Charlie has also had some radio play with stations such as ‘triple J’ and has been featured on blogs ‘Big stereo’ and ‘Hey Kids’ plus many more in the near future.

Influenced by artists such as Pivot, Trentemoller, joe and will ask?, Clark, Ellen Allien and Mr Oizo, Charlie began by making basic mainstream dance music. He has since moved onto a harder, more compressed sound but retained an ambient edge. His music is both different and likeable, versatile but individual.

Charlie Why is much more than a DJ. He is a performer and intends moving into a more live orientated set. Using a laptop and various MIDI controllers to DJ, he incorporates his own original music into his sets. He also mixes music from other bands into dub-step and disco tracks, creating songs that are mixed and mashed with unique flair.
