About the Artist
Charlie was born in 1963 in Iqaluit, Nunavut ( on Baffin Island in the Canadian arctic) and that's where his musical history started, when he began elementary school in Iqaluit, in the 1970’s. He started making songs while on his way to school, to the beat of his footsteps. The first time he touched a guitar was at the age of 12 in 1979 when he started junior high. He didn’t learn much then until he moved to Inukjuak in Nunavik. There his friends started a band and that’s when he really got hooked.

Then 4-5 years later after following his friends band, ha started his own band using the community centers instruments. His musical influences at the time were from Nunavik artists like (Sikumiut, Sugluk Band, Charlie Adams, and especially Willia’s band from Inukjuak.. All of them with soft rock to hard rock influences, which has stayed today in Charlie’s music. After one year of practicing with his band they started playing at the local community center every Friday night.

Word of his music quickly traveled across the north with a strong demand for him to perform all across the north. During his musical carreer he has always played his own compositions except for 2 songs his first year.The same year that he started performing in public Charlie’s band showcased in a Nunavik festival in Inukjuak, and that became the beginning of his travels across the north.

Product Description
Inuutsiarit stands out as the top hit of this new album, Inuuqatik, released by Inukshuk Productions this spring. Over the nine tracks, Charlie Ningiuk-originally from Iqaluit but now living in Inukjuak-covers progressive rock for the most part, and some easy listening. There's a nice fuzz-guitar sound throughout this well-recorded CD.
