Legend's Ghost is an internationally-recorded rock opera project by composer/singer Cherelle-Renée Childs. Legend's Ghost is currently recording two albums, The Suicidal Immortal, and Gatekeepers.

Cherelle-Renée first got the idea for Legend's Ghost in 2004, after discovering prog rock operas by the likes of Ayreon, Avantasia, and Dream Theater. She originally planned to use guest artists from the Fargo-Moorhead area, where she lived at the time, but when a guitarist was unable to play the entire project, Cherelle-Renée got the idea to use international artists as well. She had noticed a significant amount of talent on the Arjen Lucassen message board, and realized that 21st century technology made it possible to collaborate with those artists. The guest artists record their individual parts, and Cherelle-Renée puts them together in Renoise. The project now involves a variety of artists from three different continents..

Cherelle-Renée Childs grew up surrounded by music. Although neither of her parents performed professionally, both had a love of classical music and always had the classical station playing. After learning about various composers in school, Cheryl decided to try her hand at composing at the age of 9. She also learned to play recorder and flute around that time.

Cherelle was active in various choirs throughout high school and college and started taking voice lessons at the age of 18. She appeared in various school opera productions at North Dakota State University, including Hansel and Gretel, Venus and Adonis, and Trial by Jury. She also appeared as a chorus girl in the Fargo-Moorhead Opera's production of Tosca. Cheryl graduated from North Dakota State University in 2007 with a degree in music.

In the summer of 2004, Cheryl joined a Moorhead-based band called Prog-nosys, and her bandmates quickly introduced her to prog and symphonic metal. That style was just what Cheryl was looking for: a healthy mix of rock and classical. She was soon composing music in that style and has been ever since.

In September 2007, Cheryl sang with the Ayreon cover band Ayreonotes at the Ayreon fanmeet.

In 2009, Cheryl joined the Ecuador-based jazz combo Camaleon after meeting drummer Pato Sanchez and bassist Sergey Proshunin. She performed together with Camaleon in several locations in Ecuador, and also did shows in bars with Sergey for awhile.

2010 saw opportunities for live performances with Legend's Ghost, so Cheryl-Renée has had the opportunity to work with several talented musicians in the Quito area.

Cheryl has also made guest appearances with several internationally recorded projects, such as Factory of Dreams, voXager, and Korsair.
