“Performers Teach..Teachers Perform.”

Zoltan Kodaly

My name is Charles Yates

I am currently a Senior at Full Sail University majoring in Music Production

The owner and operator of Powermove Productions..

And a Producer at Ape Studios in Toledo, Ohio where I work with young people who are interested in music..

And Music Production.

But let me start from the beginning..

I started playing Trumpet at the age of 13. I then started playing Guitar,Bass and Drums. In High School

I joined a local R&B group which opened for groups such as “New Birth”,”Harold Melvin And The Blue

Notes”, and “Cameo”

Upon graduation, I received Music Scholarships from Alabama A&M,Bishop College and Florida

A&M

I chose FAMU…

After leaving FAMU, I returned to my Alma Mater Jesup W.Scott H.S.

As the Assistant Band Director/ Musical Arranger. I loved working with the young

people..

Then came Synthesizers,Samplers,Drum Machines,and Portastudios in 1985..I

then had the power to not only compose..

But I could also play all of the parts and record them

And I did..and loved it.

Mob Style Records ran into legal issues which suspended signing with a major label shortly after the release of the album..I was crushed..

So I quit..

Four years ago a couple of my friends who have made a name for themselves in the industry was in town for a

benefit concert. I was invited down to “sit-in” with them.

Trez Gregory from “Brooks And Dunn

“Big Game” James Manning

So I went out to a local studio for a session..I was asked to man the console..

I WAS LOST..DIDN’T HAVE A CLUE.. But THEY didn’t know that..

I hadn’t been in a studio in 20 years..then I got an idea..

GO BACK TO SCHOOL !

I have been taught to use..

Logic Pro

Logic X

Sibelius

Pro Tools

Komplete

I recently composed a song for the WWE/NXT series entitled “Undisputable”

Now that I have the necessary tools..

May I work for you?
