MY NAME IS CHARRESE. I WAS BORN HERE IN CALIFORNIA, & I LOVE IT! I LIVED IN NY WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL, LIVED IN LA FOR A FEW MONTHS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, AND I WILL SOON BE MOVING BACK! :) GOD COMES FIRST IN MY LIFE! I LOVE MY FAMILY, REAL FRIENDS, MY FUTURE, MY FANS & I LOVE MUSIC! I'VE BEEN SINGING SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL! BEFORE I CAN REALLY CARRY ON CONVERSATIONS! HAHAHA. I KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE SAY THAT, BUT IT'S TRUE! I PUT MY OWN BEATS TOGETHER IN ARRANGEMENT, GOD GIVES ME THE LYRICS TO WRITE. HE ALWAYS PROVIDES INSPIRATION TO WRITE AND SING ABOUT. I PRODUCE MY OWN MUSIC, & I EVEN MAKE CLOTHES BY HAND & DRAW! I LOVE ANYTHING ARTISTIC! I ALSO HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE IN MODELING. I GRADUATED FROM "BARBIZON SCHOOL FOR MODELING" WHEN I WAS 13 YEARS OLD. I LOVE TO DANCE TOO! I DON'T TAKE ALL CREDIT THOUGH- GOD GETS ALL THE GLORY! I DO STRIVE TO BE A VERY
GOOD EXAMPLE, NOT ONLY TO FEMALES, BUT TO MALES TOO! WE NEED TO RESPECT OURSELVES, & RESPECT EACH OTHER. I CHOOSE TO RECORD SONGS ABOUT (& INCLUDING), GOD, LOVE, & LIFE. I CHOOSE NOT TO WRITE ABOUT MATERIALISM, DEGRADING STUFF, AND/OR SEX. NOR DO I CUSS IN MY MUSIC. I HOPE TO KEEP MY SONGS PLEASING TO GOD [MOST IMPORTANTLY]! I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST ANYBODY WHO DOES CHOOSE TO WRITE, SING, AND/OR RAP ABOUT THOSE THINGS THAT I DON'T. IT'S JUST MY PERSONAL DECISION RIGHT NOW.... I AM SO THANKFUL FOR GOD, MY MOTHER, MY BROTHER, MY COUSIN, MATTHIAS, MY REAL FRIENDS, AND "D.C." (BECAUSE HE'S THE INSPIRATION BEHIND MOST OF MY SONGS ON MY FIRST ALBUM.) THEY ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE BLESSINGS!
*THANK YOU MAMA (GLORIA) FOR BEIN' THE BEST EXAMPLE I CAN HAVE OF WHAT A MOTHER IS & FOR BEING THERE FOR ME & SO SUPPORTIVE IN EVERY AREA OF MY LIFE! YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL & SO SWEET! :) YOU'RE SUCH A HARD WORKER! I'M PROUD OF YOU! GOD BLESS YOU! I LOVE YOU, MOMMY!
*THANK YOU VINCE, (BROTHER), FOR BEING THE MAN OF THE HOUSE & FOR SO MANY LAUGHS! I'M PROUD OF YOUR HARD WORK TOO! MY VERY HANDSOME BROTHER! GOD BLESS YOU! I LOVE YOU, BRO'!

*THANK YOU SHIA LABEOUF.... ALTHOUGH YOU DON'T KNOW IT, YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME TO CONTINUE TO GO AFTER MY DREAMS, SO THAT I CAN REALLY LIVE MY DREAMS. I HEARD YOUR STORY. YOU'VE REMINDED ME OF MYSELF.... THE BEGINNING MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SO GREAT, BUT AS THIS PASTOR SAID, "MAY THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, BE THE BEST OF YOU LIFE", AND I KNOW THAT MY PRESENT AND FUTURE DON'T HAVE TO LOOK LIKE THE PAST.... THINGS GET BETTER! I LOVE THAT. I CAN KEEP STRIVING FOR MORE IN LIFE! THROUGH IT ALL... I'MA KEEP ON LAUGHIN'! ;) I'M STAYIN' MY HUMBLE SELF OF COURSE. I ADMIRE HOW HUMBLE YOU ARE.... THANK YOU. :) GOD BLESS YOU!
*I THANK ALL OF MY FANS AND SUPPORTERS! YOU ALL ARE SO COO'! BEAUTIFUL! I APPRECIATE YOU ALL, & I LOVE YOU ALL! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
ALSO....I LOVE AALIYAH!!! SHE IS MY FAVORITE ARTIST! MY FAVORITE FEMALE R&B GROUP IS DESTINY'S CHILD! WHITNEY HOUSTON REALLY STARTED ME OFF TRYING TO HIT NOTES! HAHAHA! I AM A VERY LOVING & FORGIVING PERSON, BUT NEVER MISTAKE MY KINDNESS FOR WEAKNESS. GOD HAS MADE ME VERY STRONG & DETERMINED! HE HAS ALSO MADE ME VERY WISE. MORE WISE THAN I EVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE AT THIS AGE, (NOW 22). I TRY TO LET GOD FIGHT MY BATTLES. I KNOW HE HAS EVERYTHING IN HIS CONTROL! GOD HAS BLESSED ME SO MUCH, & I LOVE HIM VERY MUCH! :DREMEMBER.... GOD BLESSES US EVERYDAY! SO, I THANK GOD 4 ALL HIS BLESSINGS, FOR THE EXPERIENCES HE'S PUT ME THROUGH, & FOR THE ONES HE ALLOWED ME TO GO THOUGH.... THE GOOD ONES, AND THE ONES WE MAY CONSIDER "BAD".... BECAUSE I BELIEVE SOMETHING POSITIVE ALWAYS COMES OUT OF EVERY SITUATION. ALL MY EXPERIENCES ARE ELEMENTS OF WHO I AM TODAY. KISSES! I LOVE MY FANS! I APPRECIATE AND LOVE YOU ALL!WELL, THAT'S ABOUT ALL FOR NOW. HAHA. :D ENJOY MY MUSIC! IT'S ONE OF A FEW WAYS I EXPRESS MYSELF! ;) I ALSO WANT TO SAY THIS: "NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL BE ABLE TO PROSPER" ~ BIBLE. ALSO, I AM A VIRTUOUS WOMAN. A WOMAN OF GOD. A WOMAN WHO ISN'T PERFECT, BUT WHO IS ACCEPTING TO LESSONS & IS WELL LEARNED, WISER, & WHO IS TO BE RESPECTED.... ALSO, I WANT TO BREAK STEREOTYPES.... SO, JOIN ME IN DOING THAT.... STEREOTYPES ABOUT WHY WE ARE HERE ON EARTH... LIFE ISN'T ALL ABOUT SEX, MONEY, & CUSSIN'! LETS ALL RESPECT OURSELVES, AS WELL AS EACHOTHER! (WE NEED TO GET RID OF THE B-WORD. I'M TIRED OF HEARIN' MEN SAY IT, BUT IT FRUSTRATES ME WHEN WOMAN CALL EACHOTHER & THEMSELVES THAT TOO! STOP!) LASTLY, IF I'MA HAVE ANY FRIENDS, REAL ONES WILL DO. :D (*SMILE!*) TRUST ME, GOD REVEALS ALOT TO ME.... (I HAD TO SPEAK MY MIND REAL QUICK. HAHAHA.) WELL, I LOVE EVERYBODY! GOD BLESS ALL YALL!!! PEACE 4 NOW.... ;) ENJOY MY MUSIC!*CHARRESE!
MA' FAM'LY!..
