Meet the Business Owner: Chuck T.
Being influenced by a diverse array of blues, funk, hip hop, and soul, ChuckT (real name Charles Turner, Jr.) learned to read music at an early age and became familiar with various instruments through church and family members. He was later introduced to the business world of music, audio, and multimedia in 2004 while working for a non-profit organization known as Youth Radio, where he honed his craft in radio and music production. After graduating from Howard University in 2012, ChuckT began writing and recording his own music as a means of reinvention and recreation and began doing this under the name “Ash DaBlunt." In 2016 ChuckT had some mainstream success when a song produced by him called “We Still Swim” by Messiah Ramkissoon featuring Elsun Bless was featured in The Source Magazine as well as the blog allhiphop.com. After years of running a home studio, ChuckT opened his own professional recording studio, Rich City Studios in Richmond, CA.
