Biography Charlie Chan

Taken from Charlie's bio at www.charliechan.com.au:

Charlie Chan is celebrated for her compositions spanning jazz, classical, ambient and contemporary forms. She has written numerous soundtracks for film, theatre, dance and television including award winning scores for Australian Story (ABC) McCleods Daughters (Nine Network) the hugely successful play, Gift of the Gorgon for Sydney Theatre Company; and television documentaries that have screened through National Geographic and Discovery channels as well as national networks both in Australia and abroad.

Charlie composed the score for the feature film Me Myself I. This film was produced by the French production company Gaumont (credits include Diva, The Big Blue, The Fifth Element, The Professional and Joan of Arc). Me Myself I was written and directed by Oscar nominee Pip Karmel and stars Rachel Griffiths.

Charlie has won broad critical acclaim for her three solo albums. The first, the Adventures of Charlie Chan , is a series of technology-driven soundscapes while the second, East & West , is a collection of improvised solo piano pieces. Her current album Wild Swans is a logical progression from the first that also takes flavours from the second; it is as dazzling and contemporary.

With 20 years in the music industry Charlie has gained experience in the creative, technical, marketing and administrative arenas. In 1998 Charlie established Martian Music, an Internet based sales and distribution mechanism to reach her international and local audience.
