Cherie hails from Boston, MA, where she grew up the fourth child in a clan of six. She credits her second eldest sister, Susan, for turning her on to rock music at a very young age when she gave Cherie her first record albums. Among them were great ten-inch albums from pioneers like: Blondie, Led Zeppelin, Boston, The Missing Persons and The Pretenders. Her dad introduced her to greats like Sam Cooke and Smokey Robinson and taught her a true appreciation for all types of music.
From grade school chorus, to high school musicals, and through her twenties living in San Francisco, music always remained a big part of her life. Her voice being her instrument of choice, she's sung back-up and harmonies for various indie bands in San Francisco's Bay Area, as well as performed in community plays/musicals. Her voice can also be heard on over 100 radio stations nationwide, as she is interviewed every fourth quarter promoting music and '80s trivia games each holiday season. She has also been interviewed by national TV channels such as ABC News, Bloomberg and made numerous appearances as a demonstrator on the televised shopping powerhouse, QVC.
Residing today in New York City, Cherie remains to have a loyal relationship with various types of music, rock being her favorite. When she's not going back in time with Rubix Kube, she's a backup vocalist for the original blues/rock band The Little Death NYC, featuring MOBY on bass, the amazing Laura Dawn on lead vocals, Daron Murphy on guitar, Aaron Brooks on drums and fellow backup vocalist, Jamie Rae. Cherie and Jamie together are the feisty and trashy sweet backup vocal duo lovingly dubbed, The Death Threats. Cherie often sings backup vocals for the internationally known MOBY at various shows, and has been fortunate to sing backup for rock legend Lou Reed at the SXSW Festival. Cherie fulfilled a dream in April of 2009 when she performed at Radio City Music Hall for David Lynch's Change Begins Within benefit concert. It was there she took the stage with Rock and Roll pioneer Donovan, as well as blues singer Bettye LaVette, Sheryl Crow, Ben Harper and Jim James of My Morning Jacket.The highlight of the concert was a magical reunion by the two surviving Beatles, Mr. Ringo Starr and Sir Paul McCartney. To share the same stage and to meet them was an experience she will always hold dear to her heart. Cherie can be seen and heard all over NYC's indie music scene, as she is a big supporter and lover of new music by local bands. She's been the official emcee for Brooklyn Band ZO2's Rock Asylum Rock Festival, which was formerly held on the last Friday of every month at Arlene's Grocery in New York City, an event created to revive the true rock scene in NYC. She has sung back-up vocals for several of New York's most promising rock bands and has been heavily involved with Gotham Rocks, a new monthly rock fest of indie bands hosted by NYC's own bad boys Diablo Royale and takes place monthly at Crash Mansion. Cherie is also proud to perform a Cherieoke: The Rock and Roll She-Devil/Bible Babe host and back-up singer for the legendary Arlene's World Famous Live Rock N' Roll Karaoke Band. With AWF, Cherie has shared this same stage singing back-up for greats like MOBY, Jerry Gaskill of King's X, Zoe Bonham and members of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, with her fellow Rubix Kube guitar shredder, Eric Presti.
