THE JOURNEY OF CHERISH ALEXANDER
"Today, my greatest aspiration is to write songs about the realism of life. In hope that through sharing and healing my own journey, I may be able to help heal someone else’s along the way."
CHERISH ALEXANDER
Cherish Alexander has a magical pen that dips into the dark crevices of the human heart that often haunt us. She draws strength from her experiences and exposes the raw emotions of her soul through her songs. “Songwriting has always been a natural process for me,” she reveals. Cherish began singing and playing the piano at age seven and playing bass and guitar since age thirteen.
Early on Cherish landed a multi-album deal with major label RCA/BMG and publishing powerhouse Warner-Chappell. This partnership enabled her to hone her instinctual gift for songwriting. She has collaborated with songwriters such as John Shanks (Goo Goo Dolls, Jane’s Addiction, Alanis Morrisette), Gregg Alexander (New Radicals) and Billy Steinberg (Madonna, Demi Lovato, Cyndi Lauper). Since then, she has written 11 successful records and has recorded and worked with many different artists/bands including playing bass with the all girl Led Zeppelin band Moby Chick and playing lead guitar for Cyndi Lauper. She is currently recording and touring as the bass player for 80’s New Wave icon Josie Cotton.
Her repertoire includes three albums as lead singer with the Los Angeles based rock band the Painkillers, one album and two singles as the lead singer/bass player for Bella Bazzaria, as well as three solo albums “Fallen Awake” (distributed in Europe on XYZ Records), Broken Open (on Red Queen Music with Paul Roessler in a duo called ‘Forever My Love No More’) and her latest “Meet Me Where You Are”. Her music has been used in many TV and film soundtracks such as the theme for “The Crow”, E! Entertainment TV, Lifetime Television has had her songs covered by pop artist Tiffany and a top 10 single with Korean singer Sally Yeh.
Cherish Alexander’s latest single and music video called “Change Can Start with Me” was awarded Honorable mention at the 2021 Cannes World Film Festival. Her music has recently been featured on Apple TV and Netflix for ‘Legend of Oro Arrowhead’ and ‘The Guest List’ on the REELZ Channel.
