Love Char

Charlotte Gordon Cumming, the daughter of a Scottish Clan Chief, was born and brought up in the heart of North East Scotland. As a young girl Charlotte loved writing poetry and being outside in big landscapes. Meeting producer Mark Miller Mundy was to change Charlotte’s path. He put her in touch with different musicians so she could learn how to write songs. One of these musicians turned out to be her future husband.

Charlotte’s marriage to singer-songwriter Michael Edwards, of the band Live Wire, enabled her to gain considerable personal experience living and performing in Italy. She then took herself off to New York where she performed her own songs in the clubs and bars of Manhattan.

On returning to London, Charlotte turned her hand to other exploits to help pay the rent. With her dog in the back of her car, she would scour the land finding unusual and interesting artifacts then selling them on to interior designers in London.

Charlotte’s Highland roots, a life-long passion for Africa where she has strong family ties, the African people, their spirituality and the huge landscape all have strongly influenced her musical style.

Because her first album ‘Mindwalking’ has a unique blend of Celtic melody and African rhythms, it seems to have taken on a healing quality.

Charlotte has penned songs for many artists, one of her successes being ‘Soul Sound’ performed by the Sugababes. This song was nominated for Best European Single at the MTV Awards 2001.

Charlotte now lives in a ‘medieval monks’ dwelling’ in Devon, England with husband Nicholas Evans, author of the Horse Whisperer, and their son Finlay, who was born whilst recording and producing Mindwalking in 2006.,

In 2010 Charlotte released a new album ‘The Brave Songs’. This album is inspired by her husband’s new novel ‘The Brave’ and the events of the past two years, when she and her family were in an accident where eating poisonous mushrooms resulted in their near deaths. Completing ‘The Brave Songs’ has inspired her journey of recovery.
