Charles Attal

Charles & Wayne Newton

My hero has the privilege to work with many famous people, but that is not why I chose him as a hero. I chose him because he is a hardworking and determined person. The chances are if you have been to a rock and roll concert, he was probably one of the people responsible in putting the show together. My hero, and uncle is, Charles Attal.

Charles was born and raised in Austin, Texas. He has 1 sister and 1 brother that is my dad today. His hero is his grandmother Burke. She had to raise 9 children and that is a magnificent task. I get to see him about twice a month and in December I get to see him about 4 times. Charles has donated to 5 different organizations that are Meals on Wheels, The Chicago Parks Foundation, Austin Parks and Recreation and Ballroom Marfa Foundation. All of these foundations are to help people in need. Charles has inspired me to help people. Lots of people told him that he could never make it in the music business, but he kept moving on and proved them wrong. He eventually made it to the music business. After he was in the music business he got awarded the best producer of the year.

I am so grateful to have an uncle that is caring and willing to help people in need of help. And I have learned that anyone can make a difference in our world.
