Pearl Charles lives in the moment, seeking excitement whether it leads her down a dark, dusty road or into the arms of a trouble-making lover. Her songs describe late night revelry, love affairs, running away and running towards, serenading the sunrise through whirlwind stories of her native Los Angeles, the city, the canyon, the desert, and the road. On a quest to discover the truest version of herself, Charles embraces the feeling of not being settled, a person who always restlessly wants more from life and is willing to chase it, wherever it may lead her.
Charles has been playing music since she was 5 years old. At 18, she formed country duo the driftwood singers with Christian Lee Hutson, singing and playing guitar and autoharp. At 22, she joined garage rock band the blank tapes as drummer. After two fun-filled years immersed in the rock and roll lifestyle, she decided it was time to pursue her own songwriting, and began developing the songs that formed 2015′s eponymous debut EP Drawn to poppy hooks and catchy choruses, Charles draws on what she loves about the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s while developing her unique style as a solo artist. In 2018, Pearl released debut album, sleepless dreamer, which rough trade described as “The best country pop we’ve heard in years” and Buzzfeed called her “A modern june carter meets Lana Del Rey.” with the release of the follow up, magic mirror and subsequent singles, pearl continues to lean into her own brand of country-disco.
