STUDIO SESSION WITH CHRIS MHINA & KEIONE

This was a last minute thing. I'm glad I packed extra clothes, since I had to run over to the studio as soon as I finished working!!! Pinning back my sweaty hair, smackin' on some lipgloss on and feeling like superman changing clothes in the phonebooth in one second as I rushed to my studio session with The Beast KeiOne, Jocke and the very talented artist Chris Mhina. I did some backup vocals and a little bit of Cherokee vocal magic for his new track ;)
Keep a lookout for this boy... Very talented and it's a pleasure working with him!

Here's Chris Mhina's first single "Taking Pictures".

BIOGRAPHY

Cherie Hampton was born a cold November night, like a gift from the stars, making the world just a Little bit brighter with her musical laughter, golden complexion and bright green eyes. She grew up in a very multicultural environment, acknowledging her roots, being African American, caucation Swedish wiking, Irish and native American, always traveling back and fourth between the US an Sweden.

Cherie was touched by magic of music at a very young age. As a little girl like mother would sit by the open window, wind blowing in her long blond hair, with her guitar and sing her to sleep. Her father and artist Dj and lyricist, would drag her around from one music store to an other, bobbing his head to the latest hits, bouncing his born to be a star, attached to his hip, to the beat. It was clear early on, that she was exhibonist and quickly learned the art of “Bizzaz” and charm. She would and still does, spellbind everyone and anyone with her free spirit, unique voice and dance. As little girl she would mimic the movements and sing along with artist such as Madonna, Cyndi lauper, Janet & Michael Jackson, doing what she was meant to do … Entertain! Her mother quickly put her in dance school to preserve and canalize all that energy. Ballet, contemporary, jazz help her build a strong foundation. In her teens she left on her on to live in Stockholm to attended the honorable ballet academy to further her dance studies, but she always returned to her first love. Hip hop…

Today Cherie is one of Sweden’s respected, most sought after dancer and choreographer, working with high profiled artists, TV-productions, video’s, fashion shows and musicals. She travels trough Europe and the ÚS performing and teaching, sharing her talents inspiring other young dancers and artists. She’s also the co-founder of the house of Ragdollz, as well as the creative director, stylist, make-up artist, in-house choreographer and member of Ragdollz dance company.

She truly is a super woman of her time. There isn’t a challenge she won’t take on, and she does it with such grace and ease it would make the best of us green with envy… Like she say’s “if u want something, you are the only one who can get it for you, if you go around expecting someone else to do it, you might just end up waiting forever… beside’s I’m a pressure player, I would never back awat from a challenge!”

You could ask anyone who’s been fortunate to cross path’s with Cherie Hampton, and they would tell you, that she is unforgettable, possessing that undeniable sumthin’ , sumthin’, always leaving an imprint one way or the other in their lives. She’s a true fashonista in every way, leaving boys, girls, men and women fascinated with her unique appearance and style. “I‘ve always had this crazy fascination for clothes and styling! It‘s an art form and for me it‘s a way for me to express myself. So what if look different and stand out, I really don’t mind… it’s who I am, how boring and less colorful life would be without people who give diversity to this world. If anything, we inspire and give people something to talk about.” Vocally cherie was a late bloomer. Being the tomboy she was, always hanging with the boys and their love for hip hop, naturally pushed her into rapping, but it wasn’t long before she started to turn her poetry into lyrical melodies.she ended up co-writing with her father, soon she was in the studio writing and recording demo’s for other artist’s in high profiled recording studio’s such as.

Quad Studio’s, Daddy’s House and Brown Sugah Studios in N.Y.C. Her unique voice and writing skills quickly set her apart from other female artist’s. In a short time she’s worked with music industry people sush as Black Eyed Peas(US), Hannon Lane(US), Assim The Dream from Bad Boy(US), Jack Knight(US), Adam Blackstone(US), Jason penelli(US) Jones(SWE), LB(US), Curtis Richardson(US), Cut Father n’Joe(DK), Maximum Risk(DK), Ishi(SWE), Collen n’webb (SWE), kaneisha Pratt (US), Jason Gill (SWE), Afreex (GBR), Scoobrock (SWE), Scott Jacoby (US), Shy (SWE), Hood Production’s (GER) and many more. Although she is unsigned and has not yet had a placement, the worls is “It‘s just a matter of time!”. It’s been said, time and time again, that she has this way of fusing diversity and all cultural and artistic sides of her into one. There’s a quickness, truth and honesty about her lyrics and presences that make you want to listen to what she has to say, and her voice, the way she uses it is an outcome of being exposed to so many different cultures of life and music. she has a simple clarity to her voice and yet this untamed edge to it, emerging hiphop, RnB and pop all at once. They all agree… Hert time has come, she is a star and she´s deserved the right to twinkle!
