Nellie Charles’ foray into music is a compelling tale of dedication, innate talent, and an unwavering spirit. Growing up in a home where the air vibrated with the timeless melodies of Etta James, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, and Ella Fitzgerald, Nellie’s early life was steeped in musical excellence. This vibrant soundscape of her youth sparked her love for music, and set her on a path to carve out her own niche within its rich tapestry. Her musical odyssey took a significant leap forward at music college, where she immersed herself in the intricacies of production and performance. Yet, it was her bold decision to leave academia behind that truly defined her journey. Driven by an insatiable desire to craft a distinctive sound, Nellie devoted herself to the sanctity of the studio, a space where her creativity knew no bounds.
Nellie is ready to share her unique voice within the world of R&B.

Written and produced by Nellie Charles herself, ‘Rain On Me’ explores the tumultuous end of a relationship, with Nellie narrating the emotional complexity of an ex-lover who wants to remain entangled in the past, despite seemingly moving on to somebody else. Driven by Nellie’s rich and emotive voice, as well as her raw and heartfelt lyrics, and complemented by lush grand piano arrangements and glorious bass guitar instrumentation, ‘Rain On Me’ is a powerful and cathartic declaration of closing the chapter on a toxic love, affirming Nellie’s resolve to move forward, unencumbered by the weight of unreciprocated emotions. As Nellie puts it, ‘Rain On Me’ promises to resonate with anyone who has ever had to assert their worth and step away from a relationship that no longer serves them.
