CG5

Prolific American producer, singer/songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist CG5 headlines SWG3 Warehouse on Monday 28 October 2024.

Finding his affinity for music at the age of five, Charlie first took an interest in music production and learned nearly all on his own. Throughout his formative years, ‘70s and ‘80s pop, and artists like Hall & Oates and Phil Collins became deep-seated influences. In 2014, Charlie launched CG5 and rose to prominence through original songs based upon popular video games and memes. His YouTube channel began to grow in 2017. Charlie also saw his popularity cross over to TikTok with the virality of Absolutely Anything. The song trended on the platform, later being picked up by Spinnin’ Records/Warner for re-distribution. To date, CG5’s music has amassed a couple billion views and earned him over 6 million subscribers on YouTube – making him indisputably one of the platforms’ leading music creators.
