Beam from muso Charles (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ray

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'beam' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'muso charles' is the second definition.
'Ray' can be an answer for 'charles' (Ray Charles). I'm not certain of the 'muso' bit.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
