In this episode of My Forever Studio, brought to you in partnership with Audient, we speak with self-taught production prodigy Charlie Deakin Davies. After kickstarting their professional career as a teenager recording in their shed, Davies went on to become the youngest producer ever to get BBC Radio 2 airplay, and has worked with huge artists like Fred Again, Laura Marling, and other My Forever Studio guests, Gary Barlow and Ellie Dixon.

But our guest wears more than one hat, and takes to the stage as Charlieeeee, a crossover indie Drum ‘n’ Bass artist with a live show that’s driven by high-energy singable tunes, audience participation – and Beyblades.

This time, Charlie joins us at TYX London as we learn what they use for an instantly great vocal sound, how they survived having their laptop drowned the day before Glastonbury, and why they chose to record two simultaneous drummers on a monster live Drum ‘n’ Bass session.

Watch the full episode below.

Last week, we heard from TOKiMONSTA, who joined us fresh off the release of Eternal Reverie to talk affordable bass synths, using field recordings, and the classic synth she’d steal off an iconic producer — if she could. The Brainfeeder mainstay reflected on her creative roots, her battle with Moyamoya disease, and how breaking the rules often leads to the most honest music.

The My Forever Studio podcast – created in partnership with Audient – sees artists, producers, and engineers create their dream fantasy Forever Studio, wherever they want in the universe. However, hosts Chris Barker and Will Betts impose some strict rules in the Forever Studio. Our guests are permitted a limited number of items in their creative space, so they must choose carefully. There will be nostalgia. There will be anecdotes. There may be gags. But there will be no bundles!
