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…

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.

Although she is unsigned and has not yet had a placement, the worls is “It‘s just a matter of time!”.
