Charlene Kaye (born September 12, 1986 in Honolulu, Hawaii) is an American singer-songwriter.

Early life

Kaye began playing music at an early age, taking lessons in violin, piano, guitar, ukulele, saxophone, and clarinet. She left Hawaii for Ann Arbor, Michigan to attend the University of Michigan as an English major.[1]

Career

In 2011, Kaye released the song "Dress and Tie," a duet with Darren Criss. She released her second full-length album Animal Love in 2012.

Animal Love reached #15 on the iTunes pop charts the week of release and received praise from PopMatters.[2] Glamour,[3] VH1 called it "at once classic and contemporary, a mix of glam rock and classical music in just the right measures"[4] and the New Yorker described it "a richly orchestrated pop album."[5]

In March 2011 and 2013, Kaye played at the SXSW Music Festival in Austin, TX.[6]
