Rouben Axel Charles (Nov 18 1994) is a Canadian born artist that has
a certain goal within his art. The fusion between cinema and music
has been interlaced indefinitely, and this is where Rouben will fuse
his melodic sound to intertwine with passive storytelling for his
audience. This has led Rouben to secure space in the fields of being
a producer, singer/song writer, music engineer, video director, and
creative director amongst his art work.
Finding his passion for film&acting during a drama elective course
in high school, Rouben has focused on writing and developing short
stories. This direction has lead Rouben to focus on creating songs
that develop imagery through lyrics. Stemming from personal
experiences, Rouben would like to bring his sound to life by not
just letting your ears hear, but by letting your pain,
love&devotion, and distressing memories come to life.
"When I was a young kid, early 2000's living in Canada. I loved
waking up Saturday Mornings to watch BET or MTV music videos. I
remembered certain songs just because of how strong the imagery was
and how it complemented the sounds...even if I was too young to
understand the lyrics.
"Find your Love - Drake" is still today
one of my favourites for simple but connecting cinematic imagery.
Also, "Kelly Rowland - Stole" is one of my
favourite music videos because of the imagery she instilled of young
promising men losing their lives over minor problems in our culture.
Today, the sound of music has evolved dramatically and those songs
now definitely wouldn't get played in the club scene... but I stream
certain songs and watch music videos that date back to that early
2000's era because of the mental connection and relation I have to
them through personal experiences. For every 5 songs my team
develops, I'm trying to go for 1 or 2 cinematic short stories to
match. That's all I'm trying to do. Have my music relate."
