An absolute powerhouse of a musician and fearless on stage, but much more tame and down-to-earth when not performing. Charlotte is also the founder and owner of Allegro Espresso, an upscale coffee house in the Florida Keys where musicians of all kinds are welcome to perform.[/color][/list] [list][*][b][color=00CED1]Family:[/color][/b][color=lightgray] The epitomy of [i]zero-to-hero[/i], Charlotte was taken in from the foster care system at a young age by the Hayes family, a wealthy family in Palm Beach largely known for the Hayes Record Company. Her biological parents remain unknown to her to this day. Her adopted father, Jonathan Hayes, is the founder and CEO of Hayes Record Company. Her adopted mother, Samantha Hayes, was largely a stay-at-home mom to Charlotte until she graduated from King's, and now assists in managing the Allegro Espresso Coffee House.[/color][/list] [list][*][b][color=00CED1]Life Before and At King's Academy:[/color][/b][color=lightgray] After her adoption, Charlotte quickly took to music as a way to bond with her new parents. She quickly took the spotlight in Florida celeb news as the Hayes' child prodigy for her incredible talent on the guitar, leading to many brand deals and TV appearances on talk-shows. By time her application to King's was accepted, Charlotte had already been on tour as a guest appearance with the likes of Five Finger Death Punch, Three Days Grace and Bring Me The Horizon. At King's, her life slowed down a bit as she focused on academics. Music never left her life mind you, as Charlotte could usually be found in the music room in her off hours. Briefly bullied for her uncovered "dirty and poor" childhood (proceeded by more interviews and TV spots), she found her place with the skater kids of King's and quickly learned to lay low. She graduated with a middle-of-the-pack GPA before turning her focus completely back to music.[/color][/list] [list][*][b][color=00CED1]Leading Up To The Reunion:[/color][/b][color=lightgray] Having started her band The Last Light in the music room at King's, she eventually found the remaining members of her band while travelling the US and Canada, hopping to every show she could find to recruit. An easy feat given the family name and record label attached to it, The Last Light quickly rose to the top of the hard-rock charts and enjoyed all of the benefits that came with. They performed in venues that ranged from the smallest bars in backwater towns, to sold out crowds of 20,000+ at Madison Square Garden. With some of the spoils of stardom, Charlotte recently founded the Allegro Espresso mentioned prior. Though their mission is to support any and all musicians in their journey to fame, they also pride themselves on fair-trade and humanitarian aid, with a large portion of proceeds going towards aiding the homeless. Charlotte will even occasionally moonlight there as a barista.[/color][/list] [list][*][b][color=00CED1]Other Details:[/color][/b] [color=lightgray][list] [*] She has a green-cheek conure named Maximillian that has been with her on almost every tour.
