Growing up in Mississippi, Charlie was a kid who listened to the radio a lot. WNSL played 80s pop radio hits, and he also got into classic singer-songwriters like Neil Young and Jackson Browne. Charlie would start to write his own songs with the intent of never squeezing himself into a single genre. He tried to keep his initial songs classic, and he always liked Country music (the less popular kind). He then got into Jam Bands and Alt-Country music, especially Uncle Tupelo. He majored in English while attending college at SMU in Dallas, and always liked being a wordsmith. A friend introduced Charlie to Daniel Lanois music, which inspired him to start experimenting more with atmospheric sounds. Like any songwriter worth his salt, Mars employs his art as a channel towards personal discovery, candidly exploring all the human limitations from pride and fear to cynicism self doubt that stand in the way of his attaining true happiness.
