Berklee College of Music Honors Oliver Charles with Scholarship
Wilshire Quinn Capital, Inc. proudly announces Oliver Charles, an 18-year-old guitarist, as the recipient of the prestigious $10,000 Wilshire Quinn Musical Arts Scholarship. This scholarship will significantly contribute to Oliver's tuition as he begins his studies at Berklee College of Music this fall to pursue a degree in Guitar Performance.
The scholarship attracted an impressive range of submissions from talented young musicians nationwide, showcasing their passion and creativity. Among these, Oliver's talent shone brightly, reflecting the authenticity and vision of a new generation of artists.
Oliver's musical journey is inspiring. He embarked on this path at the tender age of two when he first picked up a guitar. At just five, he began formal lessons, skillfully combining his innate abilities with structured learning in music theory and composition. For Oliver, the guitar represents an 'endless ceiling of possibility,' encouraging him to explore and express himself through music.
Growing up in the dynamic LA music scene, Oliver's exposure to various musical influences shaped his artistry from an early age. By the time he turned nine, he was performing with School of Rock and gracing the stages of iconic venues like The Troubadour and The Roxy. Additionally, he has cultivated a strong online presence, amassing nearly 50,000 YouTube subscribers who share his passion for guitar.
During his high school years, Oliver took initiative by forming a schoolwide rock band and leading guitar ensembles, ultimately performing original compositions at Harvelle's Blues Club. His musical influences are diverse, ranging from guitar legends like Jason Becker and John Petrucci to classical masterminds such as Frédéric Chopin, whose works he regards as essential to his artistic identity.
As Oliver looks forward to joining ensembles at Berklee, he is eager to refine his improvisation, arrangement, and collaboration skills. His ultimate dream is to connect and inspire diverse audiences through his performances, bringing joy and meaning to those who experience his music.
Christopher M. Garcia, CEO of Wilshire Quinn Capital, expressed the company's admiration for Oliver, stating, 'We are truly moved by Oliver's story, talent, and the deep intentionality behind his musical journey. Congratulations to Oliver Charles! We look forward to witnessing the impact he will have in the music world.'
