I am excited to announce that "Coming For You" has been selected as a semi-finalist in the 2016 International Songwriting Competition (ISC). The ISC received more than 16,000 entries, and semi-finalists make up only 10% of all entries.

Had a great chat with Errol for SOCAN's Word & Music Magazine. Check it out!
In life, you will occasionally come across those rare individuals who posses a genuine and unmanufactured air of mystery and intrigue. These people are often completely oblivious to their own intrigue. Such is Nuela Charles, an alternative soul artist based in Alberta, Canada, who undoubtably belongs to that exclusive group of genuinely interesting individuals (something I don’t believe she would ever admit herself). Having just released her latest album ‘The Grand Hustle‘, a culmination of several very transformative years in her life, Nuela is converting fans one listener at a time. I spoke to the soul-inspired songstress about music, family, and self discovery.

I've always loved the montages that would play on ESPN, where the editors would take exciting clips and piece them together with a great piece of music.
So you can imagine how excited I was when I found out that THREE of my songs, [ "Evolution," "Coming For You," and "Fever" ] were chosen to be a part of their music "pool" for January 2017. What this means is that for the whole month my songs, among others, will be available for unlimited use. I've already seen it used twice, once for an NBA piece and once for an NFL piece, and I nearly lost my shit.
Couldn't have ask for a better way to start 2017!!

NUELA
Excited to announce that Nuela Charles has been chosen as the first Local Spotlight artist for 2017 by Alternative station 102.9FM (Edmonton). This promotion includes 4 months of on-air radio play of single "Crumbling Down" and culminates in a promoted concert at the Needle Vinyl Tavern in April.
"Every year we look back at all the new music played on Radio 2. We make a list, we check it twice, then we crunch some numbers to find out which songs were at the top of their game in 2016. For you math lovers out there, the songs were ranked based on national airplay, digital sales and their peak chart positon on the Radio 2 Top 20.
Listen to the full countdown on CBC Radio 2 on Monday, Dec. 26 (and again on Monday, Jan. 2) on Radio 2 Morning with Raina Douris at 6 a.m. (6:30 a.m. NT) and Drive with Rich Terfry at 3:30 pm (4 p.m. NT)." ( from CBCMusic.ca )

Nuela Charles: The Grand Hustle
When this Edmonton-based soul singer entered CBC's Searchlight contest in 2013, her song Unfortunate Love attracted a lot of attention.
It also won her the inaugural Edmonton Music Prize. Now she's back with a full-length follow-up in a style she describes as "cinematic soul."
