My name is Chris Chartier but I go by CHARTT.

Im 18 years old and just graduated high school. Thoughout high school I've moved back and forth between high school's never settling in just one place. I always thought differently then everyone else and when I was a junior I started to began to write music and lyrics because it gave me a way to express what my heart was feeling and the things I was going through. My dad would leave to go to Atlanta to work and I would stay in the apartment in South Carolina and he would be gone for 3 months. The lights would shut off and water would too because the bills werent paid. He would come back one weekend adn pay them and leave.

My senior year when I moved back to Florida, in november I was in a need for money and in January I started selling drugs. In 3 days, I saw 300 dollars turn into 1,000 dollars. It seemed like everything was going to be alright. Then one night in febuary I was at a party after I had moved out of my house with my friend BIG D, whom you hear on several of my songs, and I was rolling a blunt when a cop pulled up. He arrested me on the spot and charged me with 2 felonies.

I was in jail for sometime but right now I am out on bond and I have lost everything. I lost all my money, all my people I knew, and my life. I have no money to record at the studio with or nothing. I work as a dishwasher/foodrunner at a seafood restuarant to try to come up with some money. I plan on going to the Audio Recording Technolgy Institute in Orlando, FL for college and get a degree in mixing/mastering and sound engrineering. To make it worse, when I got out on bond, 3 days later, BIG D got locked up and is currently facing 20 years in prision. Everything in my life is upside down. I need some help for the future and really want to make it in this music game. I have the smarts and have a plan.



I wrote the hook but had Big D sing it. Big D is the first verse and I am the second. This song is not finished yet, because I may add another verse at the end and I am having a real singer on the hook.
