Charles V. Rox Vaccaro, is a singer songwriter and rock guitarist from Montreal. His passion for music started as far as he could remember. In the mid 1980’s he was one of the founding members of the rock band LIPSTIK, managed by none other than Whitney Houston (Nippy Management Inc). The band gained national and international notoriety, while touring East Coast United States and were featured in magazines, radio and television, mainly through Musique Plus with Sonia Benezra as their spokesperson. In early 1990’s there was a drastic shift in the music scene and the members of LIPSTIK went their separate ways.

Although born in Monreal, Charles also grew up as a child in the small village of Cattolica Eraclea in Agrigento, Sicily, until the age of six years old. His attachment and love for Italy always lives in his heart because of that experience.

The passion and determination Charles has for his music comes from his skilled musicianship and the way he writes the storyline. Sometimes it could be just the love for those three chords, or an inspiring story with the endless variations that an artist can use to narrate it. Throughout his life and extensive music career, Charles had experienced some really interesting events and has been writing and performing several songs for his solo projects and also for other talented artists.

After a short hiatus from the entertainment industry, Charles has managed several local artists and is always scouting new talent for several of his partners in the music industry. Locally, he is always ready to lend a hand for several of his friends that are fighting life threatening diseases through concerts and fundraising events.

Recently, he has released several songs with his producer Peter Ranallo, and video director Marco Iammatteo. Charles is also a two time nominee for the Singer/Songwriter category for the 2020 (HMMA) Hollywood Music in Media Award for 2020 and the 2024 (HIMA) Hollywood Independent Music Awards . He is currently working on his catalogue.
