CHERISE

CHERISE — She's a Soul Girl at heart with a bold, punky attitude. Quickly building her fan base with her music and fresh personality, she was named by Clash magazine as 'one of the women raising the bar for Soul and Jazz in the UK.' CHERISE is one of the most sought after emerging young Soul singers and songwriters in the UK, hitting the ground running in 2021 with her EP 'Remedy,' with 4 timeless songs that showcase her songwriting and rich versatile vocal tone and range.

Her talent has been recognised by some of the most respected Artists in Soul and Jazz as a rising star on the UK music scene. CHERISE has collaborated with artists including Steam Down, Rueban James, Omar and Nubiyan Twist. In 2021 Gregory Porter, invited her to sing alongside him for the 2021 Disney Christmas animation and worldwide campaign. In 2022, CHERISE was also chosen to open for Michael Kiwanuka at L'Olympia, Paris and Colisée de Roubaix in Lille and Jamie Callum for his Spring / Summer European tour. This summer, Cherise will be opening the main stage at Cross the Tracks Festival and will be performing at Love Supreme (UK) & Elbjazz Festival in Hamburg.

Cherise has developed her diverse musicality out of the UK Jazz Scene and the legendary Jazz talent developers Tomorrow's Warriors. Cherise is on a similar trajectory for success as so many of her peers and friends, including Femi Koleoso (Ezra Collective, The Gorillaz), Oscar Jerome, Poppy Adjuda, Tom Misch, Yussef Dayes, Nubya Garcia, Steam Down to name a few and her version of the Norah Jones classic 'Sunrise' is featured on the 2022 'Blue:Note Reimagined II' on Decca featuring artists including SWINDLE, Theon Cross and Reuben James.

2023 sees the release of Cherise's debut album 'Calling,' out on 7th July. Throughout the album, Cherise weaves a collection of emotive, and deeply moving explorations of family, romantic love and growing into your truest self. "Calling is a returning home to who I've always wanted to be: a soul singer."
