Between crowd surfing, mosh pits to his song âTomagachiâ, and having a fan perform with him âGeekedâ; K. Charles exclaims to Inglewood, âMy name is K. Charles! And this is my come up! Iâm giving you my all!â The Saturday afternoon performance at Rolling Loud Cali 2023, helped bring the energetic tone to the festival.
The Miami artist is not attached to stages. A broken boundary best encapsulated by the cover of his latest project, L.F.C, also known as Live From the Crowd. Similar to his Rolling Loud performance, the project brings the sweat and smiles of the crowd to any location you listen.
We were able to catch up with K. Charles after his Saturday performance at Rolling Loud’s Levis Stage.
Tony: How was your performance?
K. Charles: “Awesome. I think it was crazy.”
T: Whatâs a song that reminds you of home?
K.C: “Iâll say it has to be Trick Daddy, you feel me. It has to be Trick Love The Kids. This is the life I live.”
T: Do you have any pre-show rituals?
K.C: “I donât eat anything. I don’t smoke. I don’t drink. I don’t do any of that stuff. Regardless of the performance. I donât do anything that day. I just fast, and then after [the performance] I do everything else.”
T: What is the approach behind that?
K.C: “Itâs just in my mentality, to give everything I have in my body currently, and not put anything extra. So it doesnât mess up with my vibes. “
T: Whatâs the most difficult thing about being an artist?
K.C: “I think the most difficult thing is just being a human, while being a different type of entity. My name is K. Charles, but people hardly have a day to day with me. They donât know what I wake up to. It’s about being normal, while at the same time being attentive to your job and career. “
T: What has been your biggest career highlight?
K.C: “Gaining fans. Thatâs the hardest part for an artist, to gain a secure and solid fan base.”
