Charity Turner

Recently returning from the flurry of LA, Charity hits the Austrlian music radar with the release of her new single "Into The Stream" produced by Andy Mak (Boy & Bear, New Empire). "Sacred Ground" is the anticipated second single due for international release 28th October 2012.

The youngest of five siblings born to missionary minister parents in Sydney Australia, Charity’s love for music began at an early age, penning her first song at the age of six. Under the guidance of Billy Hyde’s Drum Academy, she became a skilled drummer, regularly placing in national drum-offs.

Charity developed an open-minded view of the world at a young age, spending many formative years touring remote areas of South East Asia with her missionary parents. In India there is an orphanage named after her. During her school years she also formed an all-girl band and was recording gospel music under Southern Songs (CCLI licensing).

School ended and Charity wanted a ‘sea change’ so she packed her life’s belongings (1 suitcase) and relocated to Broome, one of Australia’s most beautiful, yet remote, townships. Living was easy in the balmy tropics, and these new surroundings inspired her to begin songwriting again. With A CD case full of Ani DiFranco, Alanis, Lauren Hill and Tori Amos, Charity developed her own style of music featuring catchy melodies, heartfelt lyrics and a unique way of ‘rhythmically’ playing her guitar– influenced by all those years behind the drum kit.

At 28 years of age, Charity’s journey has brought her back to the east coast of Australia to produce her forthcoming album. Charity has been sharing the stage with the likes of Diesel, D.I.G and Mick Hart, and winning fans over through her riveting, catchy and honest music that reflects life and the journey that surrounds it. A must see live performer!
