about
Jude Charles is one of Montreal’s foremost Jazz guitarists. Jude was born in Port-au-Prince (Haiti) and then came to Canada at the age of 4. At age 17, he began to take guitar playing more seriously and began private lessons. By age 20, he was juggling his time between studying computer science in University and touring around the world at stops like Belgium, Tahiti, France, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Miami and New York. With so much on his plate he soon came to realize that he had to make a choice between music and computers; so in that same year he started his own band he named SOULDOUT. After a two year stretch Jude began to branch out and share his Funk/R&B/Jazz style with most of the bands in Montreal including CORNEILLE and GAGE, SYLVIE DESGROSEILLERS, FRANCE D'AMOUR, KMARO, JONAS, LYNDA THALIE, GLENN LEWIS, FLORENCE K, MAGGIE BLANCHARD, CHOIR OF PROPHECY, MINISTERIAL CHOIR, JIREH CHOIR, NO-DEJA featuring BARNEV, PASSION KOMPA and many others. He also enjoyed playing guitar for American gospel sensation and Grammy nominated MARVIN SAPP. In 2002 Jude Charles soon heard the call of the recording studio and began composing and producing music. He started working for a radio station in Montreal (CKUT 90.3 FM), where he wrote jingles. Jude’s musical repertoire ranges from Compa, Hip-Hop, R&B and Reggae; to Techno, Alternative, Rock and Pop; to Classical, Salsa, Blues and of course Jazz. He also appeared in many music videos such as K-DANS, PASSION KOMPA and OLIVIER CHEU
