BIOGRAPHY
Simply Charlie is how they call Carlos Sosa, voted as the Uruguayan singer of 1999. He is the lead singer of boy band “Chocolate” and the front man who lead them to their success.

Charly and Chocolate (the band) didn’t stop releasing hits during these years and his first hit “Loreley” places “Chocolate” at the top of the charts.

During 2002 they record and release “Mayonesa”. It is during 2002 when they tour the world. They now reach the top of the charts in Latin America, Europe and Asia. “Mayonesa” is the hit that establishes their image. This success leads them to record the filmclip for MTV. The filmclip “Mayonesa” is released and aired worldwide where it is most voted for clip. This filmclip is then is part of the MTV Latino Awards.

Due to their success millions of CDs are sold, confirmed shows and appearances are secured, photo sessions and television shows fill their itinerary. In 2001 during their tour of Chile, Carlos said, “I had enough, it stops here”. Carlos then boards a plane and returns to Uruguay with the rest of the members from “Chocolate”. Whilst their hit “Mayonesa” is still charting around the world, the song becomes a hit in “Uruguay” due to its unique sound. This is how Chocolate experienced their success.

Together with his friends they now become “Mayonesa” in 2002. They keep the same musical formula, which took their previous line-up to success. Mayonesa climbed the charts once again with hits such as Agachadita and Chica de TV. These tracks were major hits in Latin America and in 10 days they first reached gold and then platinum status. Their second album establishes itself with the track titled “Nadando” (Swimming) which becomes the most played song in Latin America in the summer of 2004 and their biggest hit during their tour of Europe in 2005.

During 2005 whilst touring Europe, Carlos decides to leave Mayonesa and to pursue a solo career.
Carlos records his first major hit “Las Manos Arriba”. He releases a dance version and a standard version of this track. This track also becomes one of the hits of the summer of 2006. Together with Ariel the ex vocalist of Rafaga they record a the theme song for the music video show “Pasion de Sabado”, one of the most viewed video hit shows in Argentina. During the European summer Carlos tours Europe alongside many Latin Artists, together they raise funds for children with cancer.
Now he is beginning to see live his dream as a solo artist recording his first album titled “Natural”. It will be one of the best hits of 2006 consolidating the professionalism of this vocalist as best describes in these three words: Strength, Spirit and Heart.
With all these hits and the hits yet to arrive there will be plenty of Charly.
