Charlie Belle is an American indie pop duo from Austin, Texas composed of siblings Jendayi and Gyasi Bonds.[1]
Jendayi and Gyasi Bonds lived just outside Philadelphia and attended The Paul Green School of Rock 2005-2008 in Philadelphia, the music school that the movie School of Rock is based.[2] After relocating to Austin, Texas in 2008, the pair began performing as Rank & File and eventually changed the band's name to Charlie Belle, which is their paternal great-grandmother's name. They have cited the Arctic Monkeys, The Roots,[3] The Strokes, and Corinne Bailey Rae as influences.[4] Jendayi attended the Ann Richards School,[5] graduated from Anderson High School in 2016,[6] and Belmont University in 2020. Gyasi graduated from Anderson High School in 2019 and currently attends college in Chicago.
