A.E.Charles was born on May 11, 1992 in Atlanta, Georgia. He grew up in Stone Mountain which is a suburb 30 minutes outside of Atlanta. Since he was a child he loved creative writing and wrote many short stories. He started writing poetry in the 8th grade for a school project. When he started college at the University of West Georgia in 2010, he was inspired to write poetry again by listening to rappers like Drake, Wale, and J.Cole. As he began writing he came up with an idea to write a poetry book about his college experience. As a result of his efforts you have The Experience.
