Biography Cheryl “Cherry” Doyle, born in Chicago, IL, is a 29-year-old American songwriter and hip hop recording artist. Growing up in the LeClaire Courts housing projects, writing and music was a talent she discovered by the age of 9. Her mother, April Doyle, rapped under the name Ms. BMW, and would bring her daughter to the studio with her working on big projects and would sometimes stay overnight. At just 14, Cherry worked as an actress and playwright, later bridging the gap for her to work with indie films in the Midwest area. At age 16, she released an album, OnHerRoll, under the name Shay D. Drawing inspiration from powerhouse, unapologetic women such as Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown and Nicki Minaj, she recently rediscovered her freedom in music. In November 2020, she began writing again as a way to deal with her anxiety and bipolar depression. Before returning to the studio, Cherry worked as a tattoo and piercing artist to support herself after being laid off due to the Covid pandemic. Cherry released her first singles, including the popular “Clout”, in November 2020. She’s built a strong community of fans through Spotify, Apple Music and other digital streaming services. Cherry uses writing as a way to escape her bipolar depression. As a former dancer and remembering it being one of the more empowering times in her life, she became motivated by high energy, uptempo club music as a way for her and the people who hear her to be able to escape and enjoy themselves in the moment.

Beginning her new career in music has granted her the chance to travel to multiple cities to perform, record music with Grammy nominated producers and engineers, and participate in songwriting camps with amazing talent.

Cherry is currently receiving internet and mainstream radio airplay for her tracks “Clout”, “Troublesome”, and “Bring It Here”. Her first project, including all 3 tracks in the 7-track EP entitled “The Tip Out,” it’s set to be released August 13th, 2021.
