Cheri began accompanying herself on the piano and has performed at churches, schools, programs, conferences, banquets, weddings, funerals, reunions, two talent shows (taking first place honors at both), coffee houses, concerts, and graduations. At age 13, Cheri sang backup for the song "Daddy" on Michaelangelo and the Difference's first album, and in 1999 she sang backup vocals for the latest album released by The Corbans. At age sixteen, she recorded a single with two of her songs, "Window" and "I Promise", which are available in book and music stores, and have received air play on Christian radio stations in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Texas. "I Promise", written in the wake of the Oklahoma City bombing, was awarded second place in it's category at a songwriters' contest at the 1997 Christian Artists' Seminar in the Rockies, and was featured on two Phoenix T.V. news stations on the second anniversary of the bombing of the Oklahoma Federal Building.   At age 17, Cheri gave her first full length concert. A few months later the "Parent's of Missing Children Organization" asked her to compose a song and perform it during an opening ceremony for an Arizona Diamondbacks Game. Along with a friend, Cheri composed a duet and they performed the song on the field of the Bank One Ball Park before a 1998 Arizona Diamondbacks' game and a crowd of nearly 40,000!   Cheri sang in her highschool concert choir and chorale and was voted "most likely to succeed in music." Her other interests include art, sports, miniatures, and anything creative! She graduated from Phoenix Christian Highschool in 1998.   When people hear her sing, they are blessed by God's gifting her with unique abilities as a pianist, her depth of insight as a songwriter, and especially "That Voice!"
