CHARLES “CHUCK” DICKSON
Charles “Chuck” Dickson, Audio Engineer, Producer, Songwriter and Entrepreneur, graduated with honors from the Los Angeles Recording School. After graduating, Charles went on to become an intern for Music Producer Harmony Samuels and his independent Record Label BOE Music Group. While interning, Charles was offered a job with BOE, and almost 9 years later he worked his way from Engineer to Studio Manager, and then on to Head of A&R. This is where all of the experience and lessons were leading to, finally a chance to make a difference.
As an A&R, Charles was involved in a plethora of releases from artists such as Janet Jackson, Coco Jones, Go Go Morrow, MAJOR., and many more. With the rise of Covid in 2020, Charles stepped away from BOE to peruse his own dreams. Having experienced seeing other’s workflows and use of resources, he was prepared to begin building his own Music Publishing company, Around The Block Music Publishing.
ATB for short, is a platform Charles uses to collaborate with up and coming talents to help guide their creativity and steer them in the right direction. ATB has a growing network of producers, engineers, songwriters, and artists. With each song released, brings ATB closer to their goal of impacting the music industry with quality and excellence. Aside from ATB, Charles has teamed up with another alumni from the Recording School, a good friend, Michelle, to start their own company MyPatchbay, which is currently in pre-launch.
