Just as Athena sprung forth from Zeus’s head, Charles Hamilton was given birth by Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic buries himself into sound, putting him through different zones and mind states. The sound dictates the zone itself. Sonic is faster than the sound, so he can never lose or die, as long as he follows the truest sound, his heart.
Part mythical character, part artist; Charles Hamilton’s existence is guided by and solely dedicated to music in order to sustain life. “If tomorrow I get dropped from my label, I’m not going back to a comfortable apartment. I’m homeless, again. I abandoned a negative lifestyle to achieve happiness in music. I’m watching my dreams unfold right in front of me, in my own zone. Reality, or as I call it, “The Lavalamp Zone”, he recently lamented.
The name Charles Hamilton is the newest breed of sonic sound, energy and a creative force from another universe that will be buzzing in your heads for months to come.
