Charlie Shuffler is an up-and-coming producer out of Los Angeles, California. Growing up in Long Beach, his musical tastes were very broad, greatly influenced by his older brother and his obsession with Jimi Hendrix, as well as his own love of hip-hop. After graduating from school and on a football scholarship, Charlie was focused on playing quarterback for Midland University in Nebraska. In his spare time he started making music in his dorm at college, but put all of his focus into producing when he was injured. Charlie then moved back to LA and would dedicate all his time working time on making beats, slowly crafting his own unique style.
A self-taught producer, Charlie Shuffler's always loved discovering artists before they gain popularity and has a clear ear for what he considers a hit. Very self-aware and plugged into the LA scene, he very quickly established himself across the creative community. He switches from producing emo and alternative styles, to more traditional hip-hop and trap, with ease. He's achieved hits on the billboard Top 100 and has worked with the likes of Lil Yachty, Lil Peep, Pollari and Lil Tracy. Charlie produced Lil Yachty's Self Made and continues developing himself both as a producer and artist in his own right.
Charlie considers himself a creative above all else and his interests surround all aspects of the music, fashion, film and entertainment businesses. In the future, he sees himself switching from production to artist management, creating his own fashion brand and producing short films. For Charlie Shuffler it's all about the art. His latest release, Back To Normal Soon, was released in March 2020.
