Chas is a 20-year-old half-Italian, half-Aboriginal Australian raised in New York City. He attends Rutgers University as an economics major and is in his junior year in the university's Honors College. He picked up a guitar at age 12, but didn't start playing for real until his freshman year in high school. Chas played in a few different bands, including X-Factor and Psyatika. His style is influenced by past relationships, feelings of discontent with the world, and his own personal struggle with the mysteries of the universe, such as the existence of God and the meaning of life. His expression can be seen in his lyrics, but his real passion is best experienced in his live performance. A mix of confidence, arrogance, aggression, and deep emotion make Chas' performances a true treat. This presence can even be seen in rehearsals and small practice sessions; Chas performs everywhere as if he is on the stage of a 100,000 seat arena. His powerful ability to captivate an audience leaves fans spellbound and newcomers begging for more. Chas' talents in songwriting and stage performance, as well as his overall patience, enthusiasm, and support for those around him help to produce the amazing sound of Silent Industry.
