Charles began studying harp at age ten, and was afforded the opportunity at an early age to perform internationally in notable venues such as the Salle Gaveaux in Paris and Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall. In 2009 Charles began attending the Interlochen Arts Academy, during which time he was a prizewinner in the Young Artist Harp Competition and was twice a finalist for the Interlochen Arts Academy Concerto Competition. In 2012 Charles moved to Boston to attend the Berklee, where he studied under BSO principal harpist Jessica Zhou and also began to dig deep into jazz & improvisation. He was a finalist in the 2013 American Harp Society National Competition and became the first harp student to be admitted to the Berklee Global Jazz Institute. This summer, Charles performed at Tanglewood and released the debut Charles Overton Group recording, 'Convergence.'
