Hi, I’m Charlie Wickham, a versatile musician and creator with over twenty years behind the drums and a solid background in music production, live sound, and studio work. I thrive in collaborative projects, bring a calm, professional approach under pressure, and enjoy turning ideas into polished performances, whether in a studio, on stage, or in a classroom. Beyond music, I’m a book lover who enjoys fantasy and sociological/philosophical writing, games, drawing, and cooking. I’m committed to community, fair play, and building positive relationships, and I bring reliability, curiosity, and a friendly energy to every role—from teaching at Oxford Brookes to freelance gigs and community projects.
