Charlie Bereal - 11-11-11
For Fans Of... Bilal, Raphael Saadiq, D'Angelo, Dwele, Aaron Frazer. First time
pressing on vinyl. When it comes to musical performance, Charlie Bereal has done it all. Over the course of his 20+ year career, he's
performed with and written for some of the greatest Hip Hop and R&B artists of our time (JAY-Z, Aaliyah, Snoop Dogg, and Missy Elliot
to name a few). Now, he's shifting gears to focus on his career as a solo artist. This June Charlie will re-release his second full-length
record entitled 11-11-11 via Karma Chief and Colemine Records. Originally released in 2019, 11-11-11 was recorded over the course
of a few casual hangs in Los Angeles. Charlie invited his friends Jairus Mosey and Raphael Saadiq to join him in the studio and the trio
started to jam. "We were just recording for fun – it wasn't for a specific project at first. Afterward, I listened back and decided to turn the
best parts into individual songs." This flexible approach combined with Charlie's masterful production resulted in a soulful, psychedelic
blend of original R&B. Think Sly and the Family Stone or Funkadelic. Charlie was born in Los Angeles and raised in Pasadena, CA.
Musical talent runs in his family. He started performing at his grandfather's church at a very young age. "My grandfather was a pastor,
and my dad was a preacher," he explained. "I started playing in the church band when I was 10, and I was drumming even earlier than
that." When he was 16, Charlie and his brother Kenneth started making music professionally. He still works on music with his cousins
on a regular basis. "I come from a very talented family. I can count at least seven family members who play professionally these days."
Beyond the re-release of his second record, Charlie plans to record another album at Colemine's studio in Ohio. Stay tuned for more
