Kiwi Charlie Wallace wanted to be successful playing the guitar one way or another and has succeeded in more than one way. 

Wallace dropped out of school in favour of creating an online guitar lesson website, ‘Guitar Mastery Method’, which kicked off in 2014 and has taught over 1.7 million guitarists over the last decade. 

The success of GMM allowed Wallace to work towards his other dream: becoming the lead guitarist of a successful rock band. 

In 2018 Black Smoke Trigger was formed, releasing their first EP in 2019, which grabbed the attention of some major names in the industry. 

This has all lead to the release of their first album ‘Horizons’, which Wallace told Mike Hosking is putting a stamp into the world of who they are as a band.
