After randomly meeting drummer Pato Sanchez in November 2008, and, a few months later, bassist Sergey Proshunin (and performing with Sergey onstage about half an hour after meeting him), Cherelle joined the Quito-based jazz combo Camaleon as a flutist. and performed with them several times in 2009. Camaleon frequently collaborates with Ecuadorian rapper Guanaco and often does live shows with him.

Korsair -
Cherelle-Renée sings the role of Mere, a bionic woman who has lived her life as a science experiment and longs to experience the outside world in Swedish composer/bassist Anders Thonander's 2014 rock opera.
Cherelle arranges popular sci-fi and fantasy film and TV themes for flute and films herself performing them on YouTube.
Doing a project called Legend's Ghost calls for the occasional venture into the world of hauntings and ghosts. Cherelle has had the opportunity to play the offbeat, completely batty, spider-loving acrobat Natasha, the undead cannibalistic mayor's wife, and time-traveling steampunk mad scientist Dr. Olga Kadaver in magician Matt Dunn's haunted theme park Scream Town in Chaska, Minnesota. She finished her fourth season there in November 2018.
It's like Whose Line Is It, Anyway, except Minnesotan. Cherelle performed regularly with this team of short-form improv comics on Youtube, local Minnesota TV, and sometimes even at the House of Comedy in the Mall of America from 2017 to 2021.
Triskel -
Cherelle sang lead vocals in this Ecuadorian gothic metal band from 2011 to 2014, whose lyrics focus on Latin-American legends. She joined after meeting band members Cristhian Buitron, Fredy Ruiz, and Paúl Paredes at the Quito-based festival New Blood of Goth in 2011. In 2014, she parted ways with them due to philosophical and creative differences.
voXager -
