Biography

Leeds-based Future-Soul singer-songwriter August Charles releases his new single ‘River’. The track continues the intimate and emotional storytelling and soaring vocal arrangements established on last year’s single ‘Blessed’. ‘River’ takes lyrical inspiration from August’s mother tongue ‘Tonga’ originating from Zambia. The line ‘Bola Mwinchangu’ (pronounced Wo-la Mwing-Chang-Gooo) is prominent throughout the track, which means ‘Come My Brother’ in translation. 
August Charles is an Alt-Soul singer born in Ndola, Zambia and raised in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Influenced by the work of Frank Ocean and Amy Winehouse, his music combines elements of both retro-soul and alternative R&B. With a focus on expressive vocal arrangements, lush instrumentals and thought provoking lyricism, August’s ability to tell intricately woven stories has begun to turn heads. 
August has shared stages with luminaries such as Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Emeli Sandé, Bilal, Omar, Gotts Street Park & Adi Oasis. His live performances throughout summer 2023 saw him playing live at Love Supreme Festival, BST Festival, Dot to Dot, and Deer Shed Festival amongst others.
