In our modern day
parade of glamour, glitz and
unmerited superstardom, Cherine
has taken today’s road less
traveled; the path of paying
dues, cultivating her abilities
and developing her signature
Dancehall Soul sound; a mixture
of dancehall, reggae, soul and
r&b. In only three short years,
Cherine has become one of
Jamaica’s leading young female
singer/songwriters and
performers. Her genre defying
grooves coupled with her
powerful voice and thought
provoking lyrics have brought
her in front of well over
1,000,000 live audience fans in
the past 18 months. With a
growing army of supporters, who
she affectionately calls her
“Dancehall-SOULdiers”, she has
had the privilege of steadily
touring in places such as
Jamaica, Europe, Canada,
Australia and the USA.
Cherine’s infectious and
passionate live performances
helped place her on sold-out
arena tours and renown festivals
worldwide as both an opening and
supporting act for Michael
Franti & Spearhead with
International rock star John
Mayer and multi-platinum selling
rock band Counting Crows, just
to name a few. She has also
toured with Sly & Robbie and is
endorsed by legendary duo.
Grammy award winning drummer Sly
Dunbar hails her as “...the real
deal. A truly strong vocalist on
hardcore riddims with the
ability and potential to surpass
reggae audiences to reach the
masses.”

The east Kingston bred native is
a constant and consistent
positive representative of
Jamaica; from penning and
directing chart topping videos
for her inspirational songs such
as “Kingston State of Mind” and
“Shine On Jamaica”, to stand out
performances at the Inaugural
Green Ball and Peace Ball during
Barack Obama’s Presidential
Inauguration, as well as the
World Games Special Olympics, to
reaching the Billboard charts.
Cherine has made numerous
appearances on television
programs in Jamaica, Australia
and the United States including
The Late Late Show with Craig
Ferguson and The Ellen DeGeneres
Show and twice appeared on the
award winning local show Profile
with Ian Boyne.
Cherine is the first Jamaican
female artist to hit the
Billboard Rock Charts as she was
featured on the song “Say Hey, I
Love You” with Michael Franti &
Spearhead. After almost 52 weeks
the song is still on the iTunes
charts and has been placed on
the soundtrack of numerous films
and TV commercials including the
EA 2010 FIFA World Cup South
Africa Music Soundtrack. She
dominated both local and
international reggae charts with
her smash hit single “Shine on
Jamaica” from her critically
acclaimed EP The Introduction-Dubstyle
EP. “Shine On Jamaica” peaked at
#1 for four weeks on both the NY
Reggae Charts and South Florida
reggae charts, and reached the
top 10 charts in London. The EP
also produced reggae hits such
as “Talk If Yuh Talking” and
“Kingston State of Mind”. As a
result, in early 2010 she was
honored with the award for Best
Female Vocalist of the Year at
the Jamaica Excellence In Music
Awards.
She is in the final stages of
completing her debut album,
which is scheduled to be
released in 2012. Not one for
hype and extravagance, she has
surrounded herself with a solid
team who have guided her over
the last few years and are ready
to help her showcase her talents
to the rest of the world. Cherine says, “Making music is
like food to my soul. It’s
powerful, it inspires me…I hope
my music will inspire others to
think, dance, laugh, but most
importantly, to truly enjoy
life.”
