Debut EP

In April 2014, Charles F. Huot released on Montreal based label Cult Nation his first EP, Outlast. The sound of these five tracks moves away from his former band Winter Gloves' pop-rock sound and explores the '80's synthpop era.[2]

For his single "Outlast", the singer has partnered up with Musician and Producer Tim Buron (Tork) and Husser (The Posterz) for a remix which is part of the new international Coke Zero advertisement: City of Possibilities. The ad aired on Mexican television and in a digital version on YouTube. Music from the EP was also used in Killjoys.

Beginning

Huot began his career as a Singer and Songwriter in 2008 with the Winter Gloves. Signed with Paper Bag Records in Toronto, the pop-rock group had many successes and has toured internationally with Charles F. Huot at its lead.[3]

The artist also created music that will be used in Canadian series such as Degrassi: The Next Generation, Tout sur moi, Castle, So You Think You Can Dance.[4]
