ch4rl33 (formally known as Charlee) is an electronic artist currently residing in Oakland, CA. Originally from the genres of indie and folk rock, he switched to producing electronic music in late 2008. His first album, Thinking Up Thoughts, debuted in early 2008 and featured guitar and vocals as the primary instruments. In 2009, ch4rl33 released his second album titled: Moving Down Motions. The album had bits of guitar and vocals but was mainly instrumental. Later that year, he released another album titled: Emulsifying Sounds. Since then, he has been releasing remixes of songs from popular games such as Mega Man and Sonic the Hedgehog.

Though some recent songs may be considered electro, his sound can be more accurately described as electronica, the genre for misfit electronic songs, with a hint of 80's New Wave. All his recorded works are self-produced and edited.
