Chéri Yielle

Chéri Yielle is an Afro-Caribbean singer and songwriter hailing from Long Island, New York. Influenced heavily by the melodic voices of Sade, Alicia Keys, and Lauryn Hill, Chéri boasts a dynamic, contemporary Pop/R&B sound, and is recognized both for the high-rise quality of her production and for her spacious harmonies. Her vast range of influences, along with her emotionally-charged writing and vocal performance, come together to create a distinct style that is naturally and freely her own. 

In the beginning of 2018, following the loss of her beloved father to leukemia and the subsequent ill-health of her mother, Chéri independently released her first single, “Save My Soul”. The work chronicles Chéri’s own emotional journey as she learns to traverse the chaos and confusion of the world through the lens of grief and healing. As an artist, Chéri encourages herself and others to have an open mind and heart, and to trust in the strength and wisdom that accompanies honest self-discovery.
