ABOUT THE BAND

CHARLENE SONG
​Charlene is a California native. She has been singing and vocal training from an early age, and it shows! She honed her vocal talents by singing in church ministries throughout her childhood. She released her first EP of original worship songs titled Childlike Faith, on SoundCloud in 2019. She has also released singles that have received airplay on UK radio. She enjoys teaching students of all ages online and in person, which prompted her to open her voice studio. Her natural singingtalents afford her the ability to sing many styles and her powerful energetic stage style makes it a pleasure to watch and enjoy her performances. She is a founding member of Funky Syndrome and the female front singer for a 10 piece funk horn band, OC Groove. She loves performing in front of diverse audiences. Charlene is also currently collaborating on and recording her own original new country music.

BOBBY G
Bobby G started playing guitar at a very early age. Born in a Chicago Italian neighborhood but growing up primarily in the south, playing guitar and harmonica was the norm. His uncle Rocco played with the 50’s harmonica band, the Harmonicats. Early on his uncle taught him things on the harmonica and he was hooked. He carried a blues harmonica in his pocket throughout his whole childhood, playing it daily. After moving to California in the late 70’s, he has been part of the Southern California music scene since. He played the “5 nighters” throughout Orange County for years and has played more weddings and casuals than he can count. He has been fortunate to have worked in well known studios and on occasion with recognizable artists along with session work and some album opportunities over the years. He also has a lot of song writing and collaboration in his resume. He too is a founding member of Funky Syndrome and works with Charlene in the OC Groove band as well. He loves playing, entertaining and writing music and has been known to say that he’ll probably be playing at his own funeral.

KEN CASSIE
Ken is originally from Ghana where he was regarded as a Ghanian musical prodigy. He is from a musical family as his father was a famous funk bassist in Ghana. At a very young age he entered a nationwide music contest, won 1st place and was awarded a music scholarship. At the young age of fifteen he went off to Germany to start his collegiate journey. He has performed with many Ghanian Symphonies including the Ghana National Symphany. He has also performed with American, Canadian and French recording artists. He was selected and appeared on the television show, the Voice. Ken is talented beyond his years and helps bring the funk to Funky Syndrome!

Allen hails from Hong Kong where he played and toured with popular Chinese variety bands. He enjoys teaching the youth and has an online and in person drum school where he teaches both Chinese and American students. Allen is a very disciplined drummer which gives him the ability to play the variety of styles that Funky Syndrome offers.
ALLEN ZHANG

Just like the Beatles, Funky Syndrome also has a 5th member. When Funky Syndrome goes to a 5 piece with extra vocals, we bring in the big gun. Matt is a soulful, R&B staple to Southern California. His credits and experience are vast. From Kool & the Gang to Al Green to Earth Wind & Fire, Matt is Funky Syndrome’s Mr. Funk and Soul.
