Leicestershire artist Charlie Fairbrother has turned internationally popstar without even leaving the comfort of her living room...
Strumming a guitar under the stairs at her home in Sileby, Leicestershire, she probably looks like any other aspiring singer, but Charlie already has overseas fans and plays several gigs a week. The most amazing part of the whole thing, is she does all this without leaving her own house - all her performances happen in the virtual online world of Second Life. Another WorldBy plugging her guitar and microphone into her computer, Charlie's songs are streamed live to listeners around the world.  'Sunshine' is dedicated to Charlie's son Online 'clubs' and 'bars' invite Charlie perform, and she has a core group of fans already numbering 180. Charlie performs through her avatar, or online persona, which is a gothic looking girl named Fable Sinatra. She is named after her young son Fable, who is also the inspiration for her song 'Sunshine': "My fans really like that song鈥μ齮hink a lot of people relate to it."
