Preston Charles, better known as Subdocta, is an American DJ and Electronic Music Producer based in Reno, Nevada. His sound is of the dubstep and trap varieties as well as mixes other hybrid styles.

Charles is originally from Carson City, Nevada. One of his fondest musical memories was seeing AFI and Yellowcard when he was 13. Seeing Chase & Status was another memorable moment for him as well.

Growing up, Charles played drums, but switched to DJing/producing once he entered college.

He was inspired by old dubstep to create tracks of that sort.

Production for Charles was a hobby as he was working a sound engineer at a local concert venue.

After touring with Blue October as their Ableton tech/monitor engineer, Charles decided to dive in and create original productions.
