Kings Charles, the guy behind Love Lust did this re-make of Bill Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire some time ago. Watch the video or listen to the song and it'll make sense why he was the winner of an international songwriting competition unanimously voted for by a panel of judges including Tom Waits, Kings of Leon, Timbaland, Black Francis and Jerry Lee Lewis...
Charles took up guitar when he was 17 after falling in love with folk music. After leaving Durham without a degree in 2007 he formed Adventure Playground, a band who toured with Noah and the Whale and Laura Marling. The band later split and King Charles started working on his solo material. Last year he joined Mumford and Sons on their sold out US tour and has received vast amounts of online interest and support. He is currently recording his debut album, due out this mid-year.
