Charles was born on February 11, 1983 in Carol City, Florida. Growing up, he would walk to football practice with his headphones on knowing that one day he would be the music in the headphones. But with football being his first passion, music would have to wait. After moving to Miramar and starting high school, Charles began to take music seriously. Believing that they could compete with the music that was in the marketplace, Charles and four high school friends started a group called Dirty-Mob-Click (DMC). His stage name was Slick (his AKA today), and his music career began. Subsequently, DMC broke-up but Slick and group member Dro decided to link up and form the tandem Slick and Dro. Still in high school, Slick and Dro won countless MC battles and competitions in South Florida. As their profile and respect grew, they recorded “Sho Nuff” a crazy high-energy Crunk record. The song garnered great regional radio success and tremendous buzz for Slick and Dro. As a result, the duo began opening shows in South Florida for top artist such as: Lil’Wayne, TI, The Ying Yang Twins, and BG. At the same time, Slick saved all his money and built Top-Knotch studios, a place where he would hone his production skills, and produce and engineer records for countless local artists. At this time, both Slick and Dro decided to part ways and pursue solo careers.

Due to financial difficulties Charles went to work 15 hour days, in the steel-mills of Ohio. At the plant everyday, the workers had to wear respirators, flame retardant suits, gloves and metatarsal boots. Charles states “it was the craziest thing I had ever experienced, we would work 15 hr days in the ovens that cooked the coal which fueled the machines that made the steel. The heat was unbearable, it was a dangerous work environment, it’s definitely a place I would never want to go back to”. This further fueled Slick’s desire to significantly impact the music industry.

Charles returned from Ohio with a whole new perspective on life and music. He immediately got into the studio and began to produce and record new music. Re-establishing himself in the South Florida music scene he crafted the smash hit “She Bout It”. The record has created an incredible national buzz and is becoming a staple in the Florida radio and club scene. Charles humbly appreciates this success, and goes back to his football roots when he states, “When it’s 4th and Goal and the game is on the line, I want the ball, umma make it happen”
