Charles “ChuckJay” Walker is from San Jose, CA where he and his 3 sisters were raised by Charles and Felicia Walker. Groomed in the church by a COGIC State Organist father, Charles was heavily influenced by Gospel music. He then moved to Grand Junction, CO in 2016 for a fresh start and new beginnings.
Wave 11, one of Grand Junction’s premiere bands, was formed in 2017 with former bandmate Zack Couron. Wave 11 released their album “Wisdom and Strength” in 2019 and toured to Utah and California on the release. The band expanded to a 5 piece group in 2021 and played many festivals and breweries. Although the group isn't playing anymore, Wave 11 is still a staple of good vibes in the Grand Valley.
ChuckJay now has his own solo show that consists of Piano, Cajon, Ukulele, and a whole lot of looping! From Stevie Wonder to J Cole, OutKast to Chris Stapleton, his music crosses many barriers and integrates genres effortlessly. He enjoys being able to provide musical influence to the community of Mesa County and beyond and plans to continue music excellence at the highest plateau possible. Make sure to book him for your next show/event including weddings, private parties, breweries, theatres, bar mitzvah’s! Whatever you have going on, ChuckJay won't disappoint!
