cehryl

Hong Kong-based singer-songwriter-producer cehryl has a voice as dulce and mellifluous as the songs she produces and writes to. Stories that explore the complexity of human emotion fill her dreamy, genre-fusing tracks, where her lyrical flair and classical training are on full display. From the strings she rips to the production, recording, and mixing, cehryl orchestrates every part of her songs.  “I  realized  people  don’t  expect  women  to  be  producers  and  I  hated  that,”  she  admits, touching  on  her  experience  as  an  undergrad  at  Berklee  College  of  Music,  and the  years  that followed in Los Angeles where she worked in studios as an engineer whilst cultivating her own artistry. In high school, she moved to Cheltenham in the UK from Hong Kong, where she began writing her own songs, drawing inspiration from a blend of R&B, punk and indie pop folk. Since her first release in 2016, the intoxicating, emotive vignette Delusions, cehryl released a slew of singles and  projects leading up to  2019’s acclaimed Slow  Motion. She credits her close community of friends and fellow artists like Soft Glas, Maddie Jay, Alex Szotak, Zack Villere, Mulherin, and Gitai and their eclectic music tastes as foundational to her own, ever-evolving sonic palette. cehryl’s music is a natural extension of her wide-ranging compass, from jazz to electronic, folk and pop.  The aptly titled time machine is a  sweet,  and timeless dreamworld  that  finds  cehryl unearthing and rebirthing her musical foundations to conjure her truest voice.
