About Cheryl Anne’s Music
I wrote my first song at the age of 16 for my friend Ed Moore. From a young age, songwriting became my personal escape. I wasn’t the most popular kid in school, but through music, I could share my ideas and thoughts in a way that felt genuine and freeing. My music was mostly for me and my relationship with the Lord.
Fast forward to a few years later. In 2019, I decided to go back to college to learn how to improve my songwriting skills. A friend, Steve Smith from Solid Grounds, encouraged me to share my songs with others. I’ll admit, I was terrified, but I took a leap of faith to step out of my comfort zone. Unfortunately, just as I was getting started, the pandemic hit, making it nearly impossible to continue my music studies or visit Steve and his friends at Solid Grounds. It was during this time that I realized my true passion wasn’t in singing but in writing music that spread God’s love and hope to those who needed it the most.
In 2020, I faced a significant challenge when I suffered a traumatic brain injury, which left me with months of brain hemorrhaging. I found myself having to relearn how to play guitar and struggling to write songs. Then, in 2022, I endured my second stroke and underwent surgery on my brain. Despite these obstacles, I refused to give up on my passion for songwriting and singing.
By July 2025, I began exploring digital tools to assist me in my songwriting process. My goal was to blend my words with music in a way that resonates with people. I saw so many individuals around me feeling hurt and lost. Like me they are searching for answers, and I wanted my songs to reflect that. While my music may not be perfect, it has played a crucial role in helping me grow as a person. As a Christian, I continuously seek the Lord’s guidance in my journey. My hope is that by sharing my struggles and experiences through music, I can encourage someone else who may be facing their own battles.
