From R&B to Hip Hop, Soul to Pop, multi talented artist/writer/producer, Charles “Kizzo” Kizzee continuesto reveal to the world a style that can only be described as, “Kizzotainment.” Growing up in the small town of Huntsville, Texas never stopped Kizzo from having big city dreams. Early on, Kizzo was influenced by the likes of Michael Jackson, BabyFace, New Edition, LL Cool J, BBD, Bobby Brown, Janet Jackson and Teddy Riley. Through the years, regardless of added influences, it was the ‘originals’ that played the greatest part in developing his identity.After high school, Charles attended the Art Institute of Houston obtaining a degree in Music/Video Business. Initially it was a choice made to develop as a producer, but the decision proved crucial to future ventures (from running an indie label, and forming his own songwriting/producing/publishing company). Although Kizzo’s solo efforts now seems as natural as breathing, it actually took him quite some time to reach that point. The early stages of his journey were experienced with local groups. It wasn’t until years later that one label in particular was interested in not only the group (then C3), but Kizzo as a solo artist as well. After much discussion, negotiation and most of all convincing, Kizzo agreed to give it a go. The project that Kizzo created wasn’t the vision of that label; However, Kizzo & label(Seven Figure Entertainment) released it anyway. The project was, “Show Goes On.” Riding off of the success of the single "Make It Happen", it has gone on to be a milestone in the artist’s solo career. Once the fire was lit, it wasn’t long before he followed up with SGO2 (The Great Escape). With singles "That's What I'm Use 2" and "Rewind" , the project is proving to be a sequel that truly surpassed the original, and has almost instantly cemented Kizzo’s place among the long list of respected artists.
