An unspoken modern addiction 

Hi! It’s Charluxx. 

I conducted a social media experiment over the last few weeks. The results are not encouraging. But they are very revealing. 

I come from a marketing background in the sense that I’ve work…

And why we ignore it. 

Hi! It’s Charluxx. 

It’s the holidays around much of the planet and a time when we hear stories and songs about Peace on Earth and goodwill to all. I love it. But, looking at the…

It fills you up.

Hi! It’s Charluxx. 

On a grey day, while crossing a waterway this summer, I was reminded how much a ferry’s foghorn is felt as much as it is heard. 

I’ve been thinking a lot about this…

Easy Does It.

Hi! It’s Charluxx. 

At the local grocery store, in a small seaside village, a white hair man attending the aisle started whistling the melody of a famous children’s television show of old. It stopped me in my…

I’d like to apologize for being in absentia. 

Hi! It’s Charluxx. 

Why was I away, where was I? 

A few reasons, but no excuse: I left my position as a cook, got a contract that took me away from my…

For the first time in my life, I feel like a man. 

Hi! It’s Charluxx. 

I’ve finally deserved that moniker. I’ve earned it. 

Throughout my life, I’ve wondered, kept asking myself when indeed I would become a man. 

But, you…

What you can do to support independent musicians 

Hi! It’s Charluxx. 

I’m not happy to write this week’s blog. 

Everything I’m about to tell you falls so squarely into the common sense column that it seems redundant to touch on…

Just a little merry jingle I made for my birthday ;-)

Music meets mind 

I remember the first time I heard The Alan Parsons Project. 

One evening my dad says to me “you’ve got this listen to this” and he puts on Pyramid. 

I was all ears. I was…

Strap yourself in because this is a sad story. But it’s a sad story with an great ending! 

Hi! It’s Charluxx. 

Apart from almost dying in a car accident when I was 19, then losing my son years later. Everything…

I'm really not feeling well, so I'm postponing Philosophy Fridays until tomorrow.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Peace and Love,

Charluxx.

The Godfather of my Soul 

James Brown. Probably the single most important figure in music. 

Putting the musical emphasis on The One, the first beat of every measure. He created a new genre, Funk. 

It isn’t an exaggeration…

I’ll join the clowder... just to see. 

Hi! It’s Charluxx. 

Okay, so cats. 

I figured when I post or share a cat related story I actually get likes. My post as a musician, with a social message, with…

Hi! It’s Charluxx. 

The first time I saw and heard Erykah Badu I was absolutely mesmerized. Wow. Here was someone…

Do one thing, complete it, move on... 

Hi! It’s Charluxx. 

Today, I have one thing to tell you: Finish what you start. 

As a musician, that is one of the best piece of advice I can give you. 

As…

Paul, John, George and Ringo 

Hi! It’s Charluxx. 

This being my fourth Artist Spotlight, I thought it would be appropriate to focus my attention on the Fab Four. 

The Beatles have always been a very important part of my…

The highs and lows of being a Highly Sensitive Person 

Can’t stop these feelings I got! 

Hi! It’s Charluxx. 

As an Highly Sensitive Person, I feel everything. I FEEL everything. Like my nervous system is in overdrive.

The First Lady of Love 

Hi! It’s Charluxx. 

The very mention of the name Donna Summer brings a very special electric feeling to my whole body. She has that effect on me. Her music vibes to the beat of my…

How I write a song... 

Hi! It's Charluxx.

Today, I gave myself a challenge.

I decided to write a song in a few minutes... see what I could come up with. 

Typically, I either wake up with a song, melody…
