Colorful Chuck, born Feb 20, 1995, as Charles William Sallis III, has always had a passion for song writing. Growing up in New Orleans, to a Cuban mother and African American father, he has been heavily influenced by multiple genres of music. A victim of Hurricane Katrina, Chuck moved with his family to Houston, Texas in 2005 which only exposed him further to the culture and influence of other Houston artists before him, fortifying his sound and love for original hip-hop and R&B.
