I'M NOT A FIGHTER!

About Me


Cherrygraphy
Welcome to the official Ms. Cherry Myspace, It's your girl Cherokee aka Ms.Cherry singer, songwriter, producer and model from BK New York. I stepped onto the music scene in 1999 with a debut album I LOVE YOU... ME. At the time I was signed with RCA records, however, due to the short comings on the marketing and promotional front the record never reached mass audience. But because I had amazing PR I still received so much love. Graced the cover of Time Out NY & Jet Magazine amongst other's like Vogue, Essence, Rolling Stone, Billboard, The NY times, Honey, Vibe and Esquire to name a few.
Adding to my repertoire I've been sponsored by Polo jeans traveled on a mini tour, been fortunate to be involved with GAP campaign ads which lead to major billboards plastered all over 10 states. Had airtime in GAP commercial that ran nationally for a few months and performed on Soul Train and Motown Live with Sheila E. Toured a little bit overseas for my album and while on tour had the oppurtunity to open for Lauren Hill in Amsterdam.
Despite all the hard work I poured into the project including the completion of a sophomore album ..Soul Parade.. featuring top artist, Outkast, Bilal, Jill Scott, Rahsaan Patterson, Anthony Hamilton ,Floetry and Musiq (which was never offically released but bootlegged all around the world) it forced me to take some time off to regroup. You are probably wondering where I've been, well as I mentioned I took a break from the industry to figure out the next move, with a much better perspective on this industry I love I'm back to do things my way, stepping out this time with a revamped sound. It's still soulful, but with a new twist. It's going to be all about having FUN. Fun for me and fun for my fans. If there is one thing I've learned it's not to take things so personal so get ready I'm about to let loose. With one life to live I'm going to Live it, Laugh with it, and enjoy letting my soul SHINE!!!!
Show me love by getting to know me and my music. Remember to pass the word to all your myspace friends.It would be nice to here from you so leave me a comment and let me know if you are diggin the new sounds or if there is anything else you would like to know about me just ask and I'll work hard to get your questions answered.
One Love
Cherokee

Influences:

Ms. Cherry's Influences There are many musical influences but mostly I'm influenced by life. People inspire my lyric. We are all funny creatures. We're all the same but yet we try so hard to knock each other down. I love life and all it has to offer. Now that I'm older and wiser I've learned to brush things off, keep it moving and smile with my head up. I've learned to Pray for everyone. Pray for someone other than yourself. Pray for world peace, pray to end hunger, pray for the rain forest to be left the fuck alone, pray for the children tossed in garbege cans, Pray for their mothers. Pray everyday.
I love my life, my Family, Fans, Associates, Friends and even the not so friendly. Those are the ones that feed my drive. They really need a huge :-)
When you really stop and take a good look at life, we are are all in a play. You just have to figure out which role you wanna play. Hopefully it's not the victim. Your little problems can't compare to the world problems we have today which is also an influence to my music.(song..NO MORE)
I lived to long biting my tongue and worrying about what folks would think. I gotta do me and I hope you all will do you. Listen to your heart & your instincts.My influences are you, each and every person that I come in contact with. My life is an open book for you to learn from. It happens and I write it. Some are fairytales, some are fantacy but mostly it's reality. You decide which ;-) Through out my childhood I was exposed to many different types of music. I love it all! Rock,Soul, Funk,Jazz,Blues,Hip Hop,Folk,Country, You name it. I also write it all. There are so many sides to Cherokee and Ms Cherry is one. I'm sick and tired as old folks would say... of being put in a box. F*^k a box. I'm all over the place with my music and I don't want to be a slave to a box. My music is for all. I love all people. Black, white,red,yellow & blue black for sure. Straight,Gay,Bi,Confused,Fat,Skinny,Tall, Short, What ever! I don't care and I don't judge because i'm not God. (God is a loving God so to all those that are trying to frighten folks into believing God is gonna get ya like he's the boogie man or something, STOP IT! He gave us free will.We are ALL children of God. Keep your freedom and be YOU!With life comes many lessons but you have to pay attention. I have been influenced by all the many hard and yet wonderful lessons I've learned. If I had to go back and do it all again I would not change one thing. I Love You...me & Soul Parade are a part of my history.The people that have helped me and hurt me are a part of my history. They have put me in the shoes i'm in today and I have never been more comfortable. Thank you to everyone that has come in & out of my life. Some of you have saved me and don't even know it. One record sold or 10 million records sold... I am so RICH now in Health, Happiness and Love.Get Your Own
