Charles Lewis Jr.

Charles Edward Lewis, Jr; affectionately known as Lil Charles was born April 23, 1995 at 6:35 am to Charles and Felicia Hill-Lewis at Bethesda Hospital in Cincinnati, OH. Lil Charles was a lively child that had an infectious smile and loved to dance. Lil Charles was baptized at a young age at Miracle Faith Center. He couldn't sit still while making every effort to make everyone in the class laugh, from elementary to high school. Lil Charles went on to become a proud graduate from Robert A. Taft where he played both football and baseball and to become known as Waterbug! Til this day he reps the yellow and green!

Later he would aspire to be a "rapper" with rap names such as Benji, Benji Da Menace, Bandz, and the most recent to become known to many as Lu Bundy while recording over 100+ songs titled California Love, When It Rains, Doing Doing, Biscotti, Iced tea, Back End, Backshots, Ray Charles, along with many features.
