See all dates here. “I’m Not Crazy” follows up “Same Friends” featuring Lil Tjay, in which Charlie dives into his come-up in the music game and bringing his ‘same friends’ along for the ride.  In the “Same Friends,” video, Charlie and his Day 1 friends from Seattle are settled into a lavish home in Los Angeles, kicking it and recording before all heading over to Lil Tjay’s house where Tjay and his guys are doing the same. “Same Friends,” is a banger primed for long car rides with the windows down and the speakers all the way up. Charlie’s hot streak on the charts began last year when his single “Enough” landed in the Top 20 on Pop Radio. In the run-up to “Same Friends,” Charlie released “That’s What I Get,” a creative continuation of “Enough.”  Charlie realizes he cut off a relationship sooner than he should’ve and misses that person. It’s a melodic, low-key pop banger that he created with Monsters and Strangerz (Rihanna, Maroon 5) and Aldae (Justin Bieber). In the music video, Charlie reflects on a breakup as he drives around the city and catches a glimpse of his ex in a new relationship, lamenting, “I guess that’s what I get.”With a string of fan favorite hits under his belt, Charlie hasn’t let up once this year. In addition to flooding fans with new music, he kicked off 2023 with the ONNAFRIDAY College Tour, before segueing to dates in the spring opening for Jessie Murph. Touring across Europe in April with Macklemore was particularly special for Charlie, who grew up in Seattle massively influenced by The Professor. Now Charlie has added the titles of collaborator and friend, after being featured on Macklemore’s 2023 album, BEN (“I Don’t Know”).  To understand charlieonnafriday and where he’s headed, it’s important to go back to where he started. Raised in many neighborhoods in and around Seattle, but noting the Greenlake neighborhood as his home, Charlie Finch says, “I just like capturing moments.”  ABOUT CHARLIEONNAFRIDAY:Just a few years ago in his hometown of Seattle, Charlie Finch began recording songs in his friend’s basement after football practice. “From the very jump, it always revolved around doing it for fun,” he recalls. “We genuinely loved making songs. It was never about going viral or making fans—it was about making a song about what we did the other night and now having music attached to that moment.” Those tracks became Charlie’s yearbook. He saw himself as a high school kid who wanted to savor the moment. With over 100 million streams, “After Hours” focused on that idea. “That song gives off the vibe that we’re here; we don’t want this night to ever end. Through the pandemic, Charlie recorded songs at home. It documented his life and put unforgettable moments into music. Millions on TikTok and other social platforms bonded with charlieonnafriday—a persona built around fun, adventure, and the best feelings in life. After school, Charlie moved away to L.A. “I’ve built a much better version of the closet studio,” he says—pointing to members of his circle for engineering and trusted input. “We still record most of these songs at home. That’s how it’s always been.” Maintaining the formula was vital to Charlie, even if they traded Seattle showers for Cali sunshine. Afternoons are spent playing hooping, lounging in the pool, and working out. As they mature, that kinship in Charlie’s circle is the thematic guide to his latest single, “Same Friends,” featuring Lil Tjay. “It’s a hip hop song, and I wanted an artist that me and friends have always loved,” Charlie shares. The guys knew Tjay would fit in their gatherings, which the song’s music video proves. There is depth too. Regarding fame, Charlie says, “None of this matters if I forget who I am and I lose my friends.” Those friends are characters in the bigger charlieonnafriday story. “You can go back to my first music video on the road, and the two kids in that Honda CRV driving across the country on a road trip are the same kids shooting a music video with Lil Tjay. It’s all so real, and you can see it right there,” he asserts. The adventure is authentic in real-time. It’s why YouTube shorts, vlogs, and Instagram posts are vital accents to the music. That whimsicality plays into Charlie’s diverse range of styles and influences. “Some days I wake up, and maybe a little bit more of the love for Country comes out,” he says, pointing to a recent Nashville stop. “Maybe I’ll find a Young Thug-type beat and make a straight-up rap song. It always comes down to me making what I like and feel like making at that time.” Charlie enjoys the process and the discovery. He has recently recorded a new companion to one of his biggest hits, “Enough.” Other upcoming drops honor vintage pop samples in a new, refreshing way and merge country with trap drums. charlieonnafriday continues to maximize his moment. He has a set vision for his music, brand, and message. “You only have so long to live here. Have fun, do it right; every day is a Friday. SONG LINKS:“Same Friends” ft.
