Charlie Simpson, born June 7, 1985 in Woodbridge, Suffolk, England, is a former member of the highly successful pop punk group Busted, and is now the vocalist and guitarist in alternative rock band Fightstar.

Simpson has two older brothers, Will and Edd - Will is the vocalist and guitarist in Brigade and Edd plays in a band called Prego. He has a very musical family dating back to Sir William Sterndale-Bennett (mother's maiden name) in 1826 who was a British pianist, conductor, and composer, a notable figure in the musical life of his time.

Simpson attended public school Uppingham to which he obtained a drama scholarship. He left school after his GCSE exams. He managed to achieve an A* for his GSCE music and for his performance in the exam he chose to play 'Miss you love' from Silverchair's 'Neon Ballroom' album. He was selected as the third member of Busted, after responding to an advert placed by Matt and James in NME magazine in 2001.

On 14 January 2005, Simpson caused Busted to split after deciding to leave the band to concentrate on his alternative rock band, Fightstar. The name "Fightstar" was created when bassist Dan Haigh came up with the name "Evenstar" and Charlie thought of the name "A Time To Fight", these names were combined to give the name Fightstar. A lot of his support has come from the UK's biggest selling weekly rock magazine Kerrang!, in which the editor Paul Brannigan wrote, 'Grand Unification' is one of the best british rock albums of the last decade. Fightstar were also nominated two years running at the Kerrang! awards for 'Best British Newcomer" and 'Best British Band'.

Simpson has been with Fightstar since 2004 and have released a five track EP and a full length album (Grand unification). Charlie has been doing extensive touring with Fightstar over the past three years and is just about to sign to a new record company.

Simpson plays guitar, piano, drums and bass, and sings vocals. He is renowned for his guitar playing and vocal style along with a huge passion for music. ... (more)
