12 Sep Cherri V: Success Is About The Journey

London born Cherri V has been tipped by some as the female NeYo, describing her sound as “R&B–pop.” Writing all her own tracks the young songstress has been on the scene since as far back as 2005 when she was part of R&B trio Trinity Stone. Although music was always a part of her family, what with her mother and aunt (soul legend Mica Paris) both part of the industry, Cherri reveals that her first foray into the performing arts came in the form of dance, having embarked on her first professional tour at the age of 16. Dancing is, evidently still very important to Cherri, responding to probes about what she would do if she were not a singer with the suggestion that she would perhaps teach choreography to younger children. “I’d still be part of entertainment,” she ascertains confidently.
