About

Charly is a composer, vocalist, pianist and performer based in Milan, born and raised in Umbria to an Italian father and an Irish mother.
After living in England, Spain, and Belfast, she found her own voice as an artist — writing intimate, cinematic music across composition and live performance, with a particular focus on weddings and special occasions.
Her piano composition Aurelia was featured on BBC Introducing and selected for BBC Radio 3 Unwind, and she composed an original score later performed and recorded by the Ulster Orchestra, Belfast.
She graduated in 2026 with a Foundation Degree in Music and Sound for Media (Validated by the Open University).
Her style draws on jazz, soul, and blues, and she works in Italian, English, and Spanish.

“Charly ha cantato al nostro matrimonio a Pieve del Castello in Umbria l’8 giugno 2025, e non avremmo potuto fare scelta migliore. Ha interpretato Young and Beautiful di Lana Del Rey durante il mio ingresso da sposa, ed è stata davvero la colonna sonora perfetta per quel momento così importante per noi. Già durante le prove, qualche ora prima della cerimonia, ascoltarla cantare mi aveva emozionata tantissimo. Questa canzone rappresenta molto la nostra storia, e Charly è riuscita a interpretarla con grande sensibilità ed eleganza, rendendo tutto ancora più speciale e indimenticabile. Grazie di cuore per aver reso il nostro giorno ancora più magico con la tua voce.”

— Carmen Cellini & Massimiliano Marfè, Wedding, Pieve del Castello, Umbria 2025

“Charly’s goal when composing music for a narrative product is to allow the music to honour the story rather than serve its own agenda. It was clear she had paid close attention to the various story beats of the film and ensured the music complemented the present emotion rather than forcing something else. This score is now in the process of being notated so it can be recorded by a selection of musicians from the Ulster Orchestra. Overall, I couldn’t fault the professionalism, communication, technical ability and creativity that Charly has demonstrated over the past few months of collaborating on this project.”

— Timothy McGlinchey, Writer, Course Director & Lecturer in Film Production, Belfast Metropolitan College

“I was particularly struck by her versatility as a performer — she moved effortlessly from spoken word performance to highly dynamic trailer-style music sessions with confidence and precision. I genuinely believe Charly has a strong future as a multi-genre session singer and provider of vocal services, as well as an on-stage performer. Thank you, Charly, for making the entire process such a pleasure, and for delivering such consistently professional results.”

— Gregory Ferguson, Lecturer in Music Technology, Composer & Producer

“Charly has approached the wide range of events that we do with an open-mind, an eagerness to learn and a willingness to get stuck into the technical side of staging shows. Her genuine interest has made it easy for her to actively support the team where appropriate and I believe will have a positive impact on her approach to live performance and recording.”

— Ian Jordan, Tech Manager at The MAC (Metropolitan Arts Centre)

“During our first meeting I immediately felt that Charly definitely knew what she was doing and was guiding me throughout the whole process of writing a music piece for my short film Silent Harmony. She asked me about all the little details of the story, my own perception of it, and how we could emphasise them through the rhythm, style, and emotion of the soundtrack, which strongly affected the final result of the edit. Her professionalism, creative understanding, and willingness to support the project beyond her main role had a strong impact on the final result of Silent Harmony.”
