About Cherelle-Renée Childs
Cherelle-Renée Childs (b. 1982) is a composer, singer, flutist, actress, and playwright based in the Twin Cities in Minnesota.
Cherelle's love of music began early in life, and by the time she was 11, she was reading her parents' college music textbooks to find out about her favorite classical composers, learning to play the flute, and attempting to write her own music. (It must be noted, though, that she was no modern-day Mozart. Orchestrating a work so that all of the instruments are continually playing "so that no one feels left out" is hardly a work of genius!)
Cherelle studied music at North Dakota State University, graduating in 2007 with a Bachelor of Arts. During her time at university, she discovered symphonic metal, which she felt was the perfect blend of the passionate lyricism of classical music, the power of rock and metal, and the theatricality of 1970s bands such as Styx and Queen.
Since graduating from university, Cherelle has performed on several guest projects such as Factory of Dreams, VoXager, and Korsair. She performs with the Minnesota Chorale and the Elizabethan Syngers, is an active member of the local theater scene in Minnesota, and produced her first stage musical, In Celebration of the Mysterious, in 2023.
