ItsCharlie Turns Fatherhood Into Creative Fuel on New Single “Diana White”

As his children begin listening to his music, Philadelphia artist ItsCharlie, formerly known as PnB Chizz, is embracing a new creative challenge: preserving the unmistakable PnB sound while making music without relying on profanity.

PHILADELPHIA, PA: For ItsCharlie, growth is no longer measured only by streams, recognition or how loudly a record moves through the city. Today, it is also measured by who is listening at home.

As his children have gotten older and started paying closer attention to his music, the Philadelphia singer, songwriter and creative force formerly known as PnB Chizz has begun looking at every lyric differently. His new single, “Diana White,” reflects that evolution with a vibrant, melodic sound that shows maturity does not have to weaken an artist’s edge.

“My kids are starting to really listen to my music now,” ItsCharlie explains. “That made me think about what I’m saying and what I’m leaving behind. I don’t want to feel like I have to curse to make a record hit. I want them to hear their father’s creativity, his heart and his talent.”

Rather than viewing clean music as a limitation, ItsCharlie turned it into a creative challenge. “Diana White” relies on personality, melody, wordplay and emotion, allowing the songwriting itself to drive the record without depending on explicit language. The result is music capable of connecting in the streets, on radio, at family gatherings and anywhere listeners want something positive without sacrificing energy.

That balance has long been central to the PnB musical identity, a sound ItsCharlie says was built through years of experimentation, instinct and genuine chemistry. It goes beyond simply singing over rap production. The craft comes from blending pain, confidence, humor, romance and real life experiences into melodies that feel natural.

Many artists have attempted to recreate that formula, but the true PnB sound has never been easy to duplicate. ItsCharlie believes that is because it was never manufactured around a trend. It grew from real relationships, real loss, real hunger and artists developing a musical language of their own.

“The PnB sound is a craft and a skill set we created,” he says. “People have tried to duplicate it, but it’s hard to get right because it’s deeper than the melody. It’s the feeling, the bounce, the pain, the honesty and knowing exactly how to put it all together. With ‘Diana White,’ I feel like I’m getting it right while also taking it somewhere new.”

That new direction reflects the space ItsCharlie now occupies as both an artist and a father. He is not abandoning the sound that helped shape him. Instead, he is refining it. The melodic instincts remain, but the mission has grown. He wants to create records his children can proudly sing while showing that positive and clean lyrics can still feel authentic to the culture.

Formerly known as PnB Chizz, ItsCharlie is a Philadelphia based recording artist and songwriter connected to the foundation of the PnB sound. His music has long blended melody, vulnerability, street perspective and uplifting energy. Now, fatherhood, growth and a stronger sense of purpose are helping shape the next stage of that journey.

“Diana White” carries the DNA of the PnB legacy while introducing a more intentional version of ItsCharlie, one focused on honoring what was created, protecting its authenticity and finding new ways to push the sound forward.

At a time when many musicians chase what is already working, ItsCharlie is returning to the foundation of his creativity: originality, emotion and purpose. His children may have inspired him to change some of the language, but they have not changed his hunger. If anything, they have given him an even bigger reason to create music that lasts.

This is not ItsCharlie stepping away from who he was. It is him becoming more intentional about who he is today and the artist and father he wants his children to remember.
