Introducing an amazing artist known as Charles Fauna since he was a child, Charles Fauna has been drawn to the glitz and glam, the bombastic nature of show business. His father, a television producer, let young Charles attend award shows and performances with him. Even in those early days, Charles knew it was going to be him up on stage one day. He took drum lessons and taught himself piano before advancing to his teen songwriting phase. But when college came around, the idea of pursuing full stop was too daunting. So, he went to NYU to study Sociology and relegate music-making to the dorm room. But as years went by, Charles found himself within a tight-knit community of like-minded artists. And at 24, he formed an experimental music project under the name Paideia. But as he grew more confident, he came to realize using this pseudonym was a way of shielding himself from vulnerability, from taking that leap into fully owing his artistry. So, in 2017, he ditched the stage name and started releasing music under his given name. And it is safe to say that success has followed with millions of streams, acclamation from critics, and a gig at SXSW. in 2019 he released his first EP, Eulogy. This was followed by his debut album, Yonder in 2020. Following the release of his newest single “Ciao”, he presents a bright sound that will certainly intrigue your ears. Starting with groovy instrumentation leading onto his sweet and luscious vocals he completes the track entirely. Explaining the song a bit further it’s about overthinking, that obsession of both the past and future. While he sings, “Give me an inch towards the crazy and I’ll give you a mile,” ultimately “Ciao” is a song about sheer, unrelenting positivity. As Fauna puts it, “Attempting to think less and do more”. He is through with the oppressive grip of anxiety and depression, ready to sculpt the best version of himself. To the vocals and production, this single will surely have you dancing. It would be just great for a day out on the beach or hanging out with friends. Go stream “Ciao”.
