FAANGS was born Charlie Storwick in Calgary, Alberta. At just age 12, the idea of singing professionally went from dream to reality into hard life lessons learned throughout her teen years that also included a few years in the brutal acting circuit. When she looks back on her teenage years, she concentrates on the lessons learned from working 18 hours a day, 6 days a week. “It gave me the hunger,” she says, “but I was so naïve about putting my soul on the line and letting people take advantage of me. You can lose a sense of what real life is, and you see that not everyone has the best intentions. But I lived so much life in such a short amount of time, and now I have so much to talk about.”
