Charlie Mason

Who is Charlie Mason?

Charlie Mason is an American lyricist whose credits include Top 40 singles by Monrose, Billiam, What's Up, DCX and Birgit Õigemeel.

Mason got his start as a lyricist working with German vocalist-musician Dirk Homuth on songs for an alt-pop group which Homuth named Almost Charlie so that, although his friend is "unable to play any instrument more complicated than a toaster," he could still be represented in some way. Almost Charlie's debut album, Loving Counterclockwise, was released to positive reviews in 2006 by Phonector; their follow-up, tentatively titled The Plural of Yes, will be released in 2009 by the American indie label Words on Music.

Since then, Mason has written lyrics in nearly every genre, for popular artists including BoA, Queensberry, Jonathan Fagerlund, Sarah Burgess, Sergey Lazarev, Danny Saucedo, Sweetbox, Sanna Nielsen, Girls' Generation and Gigi Radics.
