Cherrie, born Sherihan Hersi in Oslo, Norway, to Somali parents, is a beacon of talent in the Scandinavian R&B scene. Raised in Rinkeby, Stockholm, she has navigated through the complexities of identity, belonging, and expression to find her unique voice in music. Cherrie made a striking entrance into the music world with her debut album 'Sherihan' in 2016, which includes the hit single 'Aldrig Igen (må sådär)'. Her music, often sung in Swedish, resonates with themes of love, struggle, and empowerment, drawing heavily from her personal experiences and cultural heritage. Cherrie's sound is a blend of smooth R&B with touches of soul and hip-hop, setting her apart in a genre that is continually evolving. Her follow-up projects, such as the critically acclaimed 'Araweelo' album, further cemented her status as a pioneering figure in Nordic music, using her platform to address issues of race, gender, and social justice. Cherrie's influence extends beyond music; she is a symbol of resilience and creativity for the diaspora community, continuously pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a Swedish artist of African descent in the 21st century.
