Cherie has had a nomadic lifestyle traveling around the world acting and modeling, and it landed her on the magical island of Ibiza. She has been a musician since childhood and Ibiza provided the inspiration to write and sing with some of it's greatest artists.
"Ibiphonic – Moonstruck is my debut album, I feel that I have a universal soul that speaks not only to me, but speaks also to the world through this platform" says the Singer, "by being exposed to the enjoyment of music at a young age and feeling a connection to it I have been a musician for twenty years, which began with singing and later expanded into my passion to study the trumpet and piano among other instruments"
Her singing mirrors the soul and challenges the human spirit. By projecting energy with passion, and the culmination of life experiences from her nomadic traveling, she offers a voice of wordly comfort and wants to share what's in her heart and mind to make a unique connection to other souls.

Yaz Alexander is one of the UK's unsung reggae / jazz music heroines whose history in those genres spans over twenty years. A former backing vocalist for UK reggae luminaries such as Pato Banton and the iconic Steel Pulse, Yaz showcases her sultry and sophisticated vocal ability on this her third solo release. Unlike her previous two releases, Life Begins (2007) and Cry For Freedom (2009) which were both almost exclusively orthodox reggae, One Step Closer sees this beautiful songstress fuse other music genres e.g. R'n'B, Soul, Jazz, Dancehall, Hip Hop & Bhangra to create a unique sound which gives credence to the claim that Yaz Alexander is not just a reggae / jazz music singer, rather she is a singer per se.
Since her solo debut in 2007, Yaz Alexander has become a regular fixture on the vibrant summer festival circuits of Europe and the UK and indeed she has also taken her mesmeric stage show as far a field as North America and the Caribbean. In 2007, Yaz was commissioned by an heritage lottery funded project to write an ode to commemorate the bi-centenary of the abolition of the slave trade in Great Britain and the track that she penned, "Cry For Freedom" was subsequently used incidentally in an edition of BBC TV's award winning documentary, Panorama – an episode contemporized by the fact that the subject of the episode was the rise of the now British Prime Minister, David Cameron.

MASTER OF MELODY - Indian Express - India If there ever were a musical sorcerer, then his shoes would fit Oliver Sean to a tee. A rhythmic illusionist and conjurer of rhyme and substance, Sean is simply sensational. At the trivial age of four, Sean assumed the role of a singer. At eight, he was strumming away on his guitar and when eleven, Sean waxed into quasi-lyricist. He is the real deal, the whole shebang when one adverts music. Sean doesn't conform to fads and vogues of the times. Contrary to the remarkably sweeping trend of collaboration observed in the music industry at present, Sean isn't too big on collaboration. "Though I wouldn't mind collaborating with established producers, I am chary of the messages in my songs transposing due to many cooks spoiling the broth," he says. His upcoming English album Getting Around, is also set to release this year. The lyrics, being deep and soft, are intrinsically about peace and love. Anent the title of the album, he says, "A single child, I lived a protected childhood assuming the world to be all hunky-dory until I encountered deceptive, two-faced people along my way. Having grown-up and learnt it the hard way, now I have gotten around to know life's ugly secrets." Though he is mixed up with his lineage, belonging to multiple ethnicity-Italian, Portuguese and Indian heritage-, having grown up in Goa, he considers Goa as his hometown and his perennial destination for peaceful contemplation. He also has a penchant for animals and looks to it that ten per cent of his albums' sales revenue goes towards animal welfare and to stop fur trade. Having studied to be a sound recording engineer in the US, he is an industry in himself, writing, arranging and composing all the tracks in his albums by himself. Categorising his music as acoustic rock, basically world music, he sometimes commixes it with music from ethnic instruments. But then again, this isn't his conscious decision. "My music attempts to blend genres. It blends rock-and-roll with rock music, blends the music of 60s with that of the 90s. While arranging music, more and more instruments keep coming into the picture and it's always an artistic choice to accommodate these instruments," Sean explicates. This being his first time playing in Pune, he is assured of a large audience due to the large number of colleges in the city. At the concert here on Saturday, his fans could look forward to some music from his new album Getting Around, a few chosen previous hits and some classic songs like Knocking on Heaven's Door à la mode de Dylan. His fabulous feats have included the French government including his composition The Libran Mind as the theme song for its tourism campaign of the Massif region. Entirely instrumental, this was uncharted territory for the singer-songwriter. Sean is also the owner of two recording companies - W.O.A Records and Sevenz Records. He figures in a band called the Oliver Sean Band. Though for gag's sake, it is also sometimes called Oliver Sean and the Longhaired band. His multilingual world rock album Darna Chod Do, a commingling of world music and mainstream rock, saw him delving into Hindi songs. The ideas and compositions, being his own, he collaborated with several lyricists on the album.
